Pull on Gary's cowboy boots to see his world with low vision as he abruptly leaves his farm home at age eight for a residential school and enters the culture of the blind. With one train ride, life changes forever. Feel his fear as Mom's footsteps fade on the first night in the dormitory. Follow his later success at a national scientific lab. Celebrate the human spirit. The true story of a man's determination, a mother's courage, a teacher's faith, volunteers' unselfishness, and a wife's enduring love. Learn about low vision, laws, misconceptions, and resources. Enjoy discussion. By author/educators Gary Ted and Elaine Carson Montague, who understand that diverse needs require diverse solutions. Spans time from World War II through current conditions. More than thirty photographs. Letters. An evergreen story with universal lessons.
