My Heart Is Not Blind shows how people who are blind from birth or very near birth to those who lose their sight in childhood and adulthood cope with a world not created for people with limited vision or blindness. Their hearts and spirits are vibrant and see things sighted people may miss or not pay any attention to as they go about their day. Surprisingly some people would have a unique answer to "if you could get your sight back, would you want to do so?" This book gives the reader insights to the details of daily living of different people in different geographic areas, cultures, and social situations. You get to know how these people see their world and how they manage to enjoy life and their passions.

Anyone who wants to know about blindness and limited vision through the life experiences of people who have shared how they do what everyone else does each day. Insights into the different personalities, emotions, and creativities of people who society seem to either think are amazing or unable. It is an adventure into a different world so if exploration is of interest this is a book to read.

The entire book is an awesome adventure for getting to know different people and about their lives. I especially liked that this book shows that people are people regardless of their circumstances.

I can not think of any thing specific that I did not like. There is more to like than I can write here.

I finished this book and wanted to meet the people who told their stories and allowed me to get to know them through this book. I also wanted to learn more about their lifestyles.

I felt a part of everyones experiences they shared with me while reading this book. I felt glad there are stories like this for people to read and to learn about the victories people have in their lives.

The writing style of this book is for me as if someone was sitting with me sharing these stories. It is an easy read and the reader is invited to learn about the stories.

The book is a varied resource into people, places, and life. Victory over challenges is shown through their adaptabilities that everyone can learn from especially from the heart.

Only if someone is upset by disABILITIES do I warn them to have tissue available. Otherwise this is a very good read for learning life lessons, the resilience of people, and diverse cultural and social situations.

This is an inspiring book that would possibly encourage someone who recently experienced vision loss. Depending on their circumstances and where they are in their adjustment it could be an issue if introduced when the person is not yet ready for this information. Otherwise it is an uplifting and joyful book to read.
