My trouble is I can never remember Authors. I can give you titles though. 1. The Story of My Life, by Helen Keller. This book needs no explanation. 2. "The Miracle Worker", a play, don't ask me the author. It's about Annie Sullivan. 3. My eyes Have a Cold Nose, (check author) is about a blind guy and his live, a lawyer, I think. 4. Lovie, This is a honey of a book about an autistic child. (check author) 5. A Patch Of Blue, either the movie or the book, good story, old fashioned but ok. (check author) 6. Any of the "Life Goes On series" on TV. 7. Language In Thought And Action, by S.I. Hayakawa. This is an excellent book for learning about communication. It was required by my Freshman English Proff in college. 8. To Race The Wind, about a blind guy's college experiences. 9. If you Could See What I Hear? by Tom Sullivan, blind musician. I could probablly come up with more, but these occurred at once. Hope they're helpful. Sorry about the authors, but.... Take care, see you on-line.
