Items related to Blind
When Emma Sasha Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmare accident, she must relearn everything from walking across the street to recognizing her own sisters to imagining colors. One of seven children, Emma used to be the invisible kid, but now it seems everyone is watching her. And just as she’s about to start high school and try to recover her friendships and former life, one of her classmates is found dead in an apparent suicide. Fifteen and blind, Emma has to untangle what happened and why—in order to see for herself what makes life worth living.
Unflinching in its portrayal of Emma’s darkest days, yet full of hope and humor, Rachel DeWoskin’s brilliant Blind is one of those rare books that utterly absorbs the reader into the life and experience of another.

From the Author:
I began to imagine and write Blind when my two little girls fell in love with The Black Book of Colors, a shiny, embossed wonder of a book full of images you can feel rather than see. The more I read it with them, the more I wondered what it would be like to be a young person who could see and then lost that ability. What would books feel like to my daughters or me if we read them with our fingers and voices? What would we look like to each other? I closed my eyes and tried. If I could not open my eyes again, would my memories stay visual? How would the world sound and feel and look? Would my senses cross so that I could taste, smell and hear colors? What would language look and feel like, and how would I read, think and make meaning of the world? I wrote Emma Sasha Silver’s story so I could try to feel my way through someone else’s experience, always one of my favorite parts of both writing and reading. I learned Braille, closed my eyes and opened my imagination to the fantastic possibility of an utterly new way to look at—and see—the world.
About the Author:
Rachel DeWoskin spent her twenties in China as the unlikely star of a nighttime soap opera that inspired her memoir Foreign Babes in Beijing. She has written two novels, Repeat After Me, and Big Girl Small, the coming of age story of a sixteen-year-old with dwarfism. Big Girl Small received the American Library Association’s Alex Award, and Rachel’s conversations with young readers inspired her to write her first YA novel, Blind. Rachel lives in Chicago and Beijing with her husband, playwright Zayd Dohrn, and their two little girls.
