Description
by R. David New
Struck by a devastating diagnosis and sudden blindness, one man is forced to remake not only his life, but his very sense of self. This memoir follows his passage through paralysis, recovery, work, family, and public struggle, charting how loss can become a fierce education in dignity. Told with wit, candor, and hard-earned wisdom, it shows blindness reshaping ambition, love, masculinity, and belonging. Out of private hardship he builds a life of uncommon purpose—advocating for access, creating inclusive spaces, shaping public change, and proving that resilience is not mere survival, but the art of rebuilding with intelligence, grace, and enduring resolve.
