Media Reviews
?As much a moving account of a heroic personal struggle as a telling indictment of a society in which being female was almost as disabling as being blind. Stirring reading? Kirkus Reviews ?Movingly intense? Booklist ?What?s especially compelling is the emergence Kordi?s intelligence, the force that pushes her to reach out to the world despite her fear of seeming ridiculous? Boston Phoenix
