Look at It This Way

If you’ve ever wondered what it is like to be blind, and if you’ve ever wondered if you have any “blind spots” in the way you see the world, this book will open your heart, and speak to your soul. It could even change your mind about many things including, how you’re going to act the next time you come in contact with a blind person. 

Look at It This Way answers questions we all may have been reluctant to ask. It tells us what many blind people experience in a sighted world, and dissolves barriers that may have made it awkward to relate easily to people who cannot see. If you’re interested at all in “real life,” this is a must-read.

Neale Donald Walsch, Author of the Conversations with God series

“I am inspired by and grateful to the author - a young lady whose lack of sight has caused her no lack of insight at all.”

Look At it This Way is a powerful reminder that we are all fighting our own silent battles, and for that reason, kindness and curiosity go a long way. In this sharp and real story, we see and feel the world through Sammy’s account of each major experience. Sammy upends our ideas of basic human privileges.”

“From the first sentence of the introduction, “I am blind, but there is one thing I see clearly,” I was HOOKED. Sammy’s book is real and raw. You climb back into her deepest, darkest moments and crawl out of them right there with her. It’s an inspiring read that I’ve recommended to many friends struggling with perspective right now.”

“I'm an avid reader and this book was so worth reading. I learned a lot about the struggles and adversity blind people face daily. I enjoyed that the author was bluntly honest in bringing up personal questions people may think or have asked. Sadly, I also learned about the struggle with getting financial help from our government and the challenges blind people face trying to make a living. In my opinion, everyone should read this book. It's an easy read and will keep your interest.”
