The book begins with one of the experiences that I survived while hitchhiking in Florida. I continue by writing about my life as a blind person. How did my parents handle the news no parent can possibly be prepared for - that I was totally blind? How did I handle my blindness, and how did my need to be independent deeply influence my future? It also colorfully discusses my time in a residential school for the blind and some of the conflicting emotions that impacted me, such as feeling sad and abandoned when being sent away from home at the age of four years old.

Misleading title
Revisado: 10-19-18
I'm guessing the title was meant to attract as much attention as possible, which it did. However, the subject of hitchhiking as a blind person took up perhaps what felt like maybe 20 percent tops of the over all story. However, one does get a great glimpse in the life of a blind person living a more adventurous life than so many of our blind, including the pitfalls involved with such adventures. One gets an idea of how it is like going through such things as being a part of a residential school for the blind, good and bad, and learning that just because a person is blind does not mean they can not experience such things as risking one's life, and having scrapes with the law, and yet being able to make it through to the other side, experiencing successes such as a family, an leading as rich a life as possible, with a story to tell.
Definitely a good read.
