Prior to the publication of this book blind she published an adult novel called big girl small that surprisingly won a prestigious award as a leading young adult book of the year

Blind grapples with the profound challenge of a young adult defining herself as an adult coming to grips with her personal features and differences as strengths rather than points of embarrassment

As in big girl small whose protagonist was very short of stature in blind emmas loss of eyesight is primarily a compelling hyperbole for the selfconsciousness of every young adult on the journey to adulthood

The precision of dewoskins portrayal of emmas story the ease with which she crafts the narrative the efficiency of her writing and the unfolding inevitability of emmas growth make this a book impossible to put down once the first page is opened

Just as big girl small was an adult book that became a young adult hit blind is a young adult book destined to become an adult hit

Authenticity is a stunning accomplishment of this novel and key to its appeal and i am dumbfounded that the author who i believe is not blind could grasp so deeply and finely the experience of the special schooling the learning of braille the sensory adaptations and the path to mainstream life of her protagonist

The authenticity of the experience could only be conveyed with authenticity in emmas language
