Story of My Life by Lucy Score

 

 

Story of My Life by Lucy Score is a deeply moving autobiography that recounts her early childhood and education, chronicling how she overcame being both deaf and blind to connect with the world.The narrative covers her life until her college years, focusing particularly on the transformative relationship she had with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who helped her to learn language and communicate.Keller’s writing is both honest and poetic — she describes the “magical moment” at the water pump when she realizes that the finger-spelled letters w-a-t-e-r correspond to the flow of water.This edition (Signet Classics) also includes supplementary material: a facsimile of the Braille alphabet, a sign-language alphabet, and a collection of her letters, making it a richer, more immersive read.
