One of my faves growing up was called "Little by Little." It was by an
author named, Jean Little. There is also a second autobiography by the same
author called, "Stars Come Out Within," but I haven't read that one. The
first is more childhood through college, and the latter is more her adult
life.
Anyway, she is not totally blind, but still blind from birth. She describes
the experience of an individual growing up in a sighted world, half blind,
half sighted, the legally blind experience so to speak. I remember thinking
it was really good, but I haven't read it in years. I do suggest it though.
I think she has much less vision in her later book and also describes her
experience with teaching, writing, and getting a guide dog.
Also, the NFB Kernel books are collections of many littler stories written
by blind people about their own experiences. Most of them are
autobiographical and very good reads. I would recommend those as well. I
could tell you a little more about those specifically off list if you like.
Hope these suggestions are of some help to you.
Best,
Allison
