In her extraordinary memoir, Cockeyed Memoir of Blindness, Kathryn Black shares her inspiring journey of losing her sight and finding her way through darkness and light. Born with a rare eye condition, Black's vision slowly deteriorated until she was completely blind by the age of 21.

Despite her profound loss, Black refused to let blindness define her. She went on to earn two master's degrees and a PhD, and she has become a successful writer and speaker. In her memoir, Black writes candidly about the challenges she has faced, but she also focuses on the joy and beauty that she has found in life despite her disability.

Here are a few quotes from the book to give you a taste of Black's writing:

* "I am not my blindness. I am a human being who happens to be blind." * "Disability is not a tragedy. It is a challenge, and it is up to us to decide how we will meet that challenge." * "I have learned that there is more to life than sight. There is love, laughter, and friendship. There is beauty, music, and art. There is hope."

Black's memoir is a powerful reminder that we are all capable of great things, regardless of our circumstances. Her story is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and it is a source of inspiration for all of us.
