As a 2-year-old, Helen Keller was stricken with a mysterious illness which left her blind and deaf.

In her unforgettable autobiography, Helen shares her struggle with, and ultimate triumph over, her disability.

Great book!

The Story of My Life was an interesting book! Helen Keller was really good at reading and understanding people for being blind and deaf. She had to learn at a very early age to manage her being blind and deaf. This book is an autobiography showcasing her ability to read and communicate with others. She was a very inspirational person. She has inspired many people to never give up and always keep going. I gave this book four stars because autobiographies aren't my favorite type of book but other than that it was a very good book!

A Remarkable Life

This is a very well narrated book. She makes each word sound as beautiful and interesting as Helen most often describes the world she lives in.

Amazing

This is the best book I have read in a long long time. I am so uplifted by Annie Sullivan and her selfless service to Helen Keller. Likewise Helen Keller stands out as one of the most gracious, intelligent, curious, determined human beings.
Everyone who has the ability to read or to listen must take it vantage of this book.
