Have you ever wondered what it would be like to lose your eyesight? What would you still be able to do? "Blind Martha" is the autobiography of a woman who doesn't let blindness stop her.

Children will be fascinated to learn of Martha's perseverance and remarkable ability to live well without letting discouragement slow her down.
