"4 out of 4 stars... A must-read" - Fazzier, Online Book Club reviewer A 'miserable creature' changes the world A riveting memoir about a disability, Blind Black Sheep inspires you to overcome any problem in life. The book is a unique blend of a captivating story and practical wisdom that can make you more positive, happier, healthier, and live longer. A Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer and 92-year-old Faith Block recount her intense, sometimes raw, personal battle of a broken childhood that leaves lifelong emotional scars. She's born legally blind when society thinks blind people are "miserable creatures incapable of advancement." Faith becomes the black sheep of her dysfunctional family. Her psychopathic father steals all her emotions, making her incapable of loving a man until age 39. Her husband must redeem her stubborn, flawed character before it's too late. Despite a shocking life, the Chicago educator changes the world. She helps many people improve their lives through positivity. Her message: "Don't let disabilities or challenges stop you from being happy and enjoying every minute of the day." Everyone needs a good dose of inspiration to get us through periods of high stress. Yet, in her last years, Faith, completely healthy, fights for the most critical, elusive thing left in her life. "Distinctive . . . imaginative . . . compelling . . . You won't want to put (it) down." - John R. Spannuth, President/CEO, U.S. Water Fitness Assn. Inc., Boynton Beach, Florida
