The Story of my Life (Signet classics) - Softcover

In The Story of My Life, Helen Keller tells the extraordinary tale of her childhood and her mentor, teacher, and companion Anne Sullivan. Before she was two years old, the otherwise healthy Helen became ill with an unidentified condition from which she recovered—but not without losing both her sight and hearing completely. Helen’s inability to communicate beyond a few rudimentary signs became a source of despair for the Keller family until a young and ambitious Anne Sullivan was asked to become Helen’s personal instructor. Helen’s incredible true story is an inspiration to anyone who has faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
