The Story of my Life By: Helen Keller
I read this book either back in middle school or high school. I wasn't forced to read it, it was just one of those books that grabbed my attention and was willing to give it a try. Helen Keller is a remarkable woman who lost her hearing and sight at 18 months old. Even though Helen had these obstacles in her life it didn't stop her from wanting to learn about anything and everything. Miss Sullivan became her teacher and taught her many things with the first word being water. Miss Sullivan was an excellent teacher as she had lots of patience with Helen during the struggles of Helen's learning. This book is inspirational but leaves many questions you have probably unanswered. There are boring spots to this book and most of it is about the people that inspired her. I can't say this is a book for everyone but if you are interested in learning more about Helen Keller without much details of her personal life than this book might interest you just enough to be able to say you read it. ©LR
