Dated now, unfortunately.

[April Brown]

What ages would I recommend it too? – Twelve and up.

Length? – Most of a day’s read.

Characters? – The author.

Setting? – Real world as her vision fades.

Written approximately? – 2008.

Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – I really need to better understand lighting and life skills strategies. Some are covered, some are glossed over. How to get lighting to help me as my vision fades is becoming more important every day.

Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.

Notes for the reader: An excellent resource, and in large type. Recommended for all kinds of vision loss. Personally, I have no peripheral vision. Macular Disorders leave the peripheral and take the central vision.
