The book gives readers a glimpse into the lives of some extraordinary teenagers who share their perspectives on issues related to growing up with visual impairment.

The twelve authors are aged between 13 to 19 years. Their book is a compilation of introspective writings. It speaks about concerns that they feel are most important to them. These are, namely, independence, inclusion, intelligence, inspiration, idealism and imagination.

The writers are former and current members of the ‘Delta Gamma Centre for Visual Impairments’, a St. Louis (U.S.) group. Debbie Naucke, the centre’s executive director, said the writers spent two years to put the book together. Many of them wrote in Braille or had their stories recorded at the centre’s meetings on Saturdays.

The book is available in large prints and in Braille.
