Audio Book Summary

From the Author of the New York Times bestseller Hippie Boy: A Girl's Story
'A strong addition to any contemporary memoir collection.' - Midwest Book Review
At the age of 37, Ingrid Ricks walked into an eye doctor's office expecting to walk outt with a cute pair of red cat-eye frames--only to learn she suffered from Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare, incurable eye disease that was stealing her eyesight and would eventually leave her completely blind.
Gripped with the terrifying fear that she wouldn't be able to see her two young daughters grow up, would become a burden to her husband, and would lose the career and independence that defines her, Ingrid embarks on a quest to fix her eyes that ends up fixing her life.
Through an eight-year journey marked by a trip to South Africa to write about AIDS orphans, a four-day visit with a doctor who focuses on whole-body health, a relationship-changing confrontation with her husband and a life-changing lesson from her daughters, Ingrid learns to embrace the moment and see what counts in life—something no amount of vision loss can take from her.

    My wife and I together listened to FOCUS. I have late age RP and this book resonated in so many ways. My wife picked-up more on what I must be going through. Me too … I learned about environmental impact that may contribute to RP. I have been thinking how I can help get this message out that persons with RP and families, caregivers, etc. souls read this book. It is must. It can benefit in so many ways. So well written we could not stop once we started. Thank you Ingrid - wishing you continued success.
