At age twenty-one, partially-blind, lonely but spirited Annie Sullivan travels from Massachusetts to Alabama to try and teach six-year-old Helen Keller, deaf and blind since age two, self-discipline and communication skills. Includes historical notes and timeline.

This is the story of Annie Sullivan coming to teach Helen Keller, but unlike most stories, it's told from Annie Sullivan's point of view. More, it is simply a wonderful book, full of character and fire and not afraid of true emotions, even when they're bitter. I read it in a night. Recommended for curling up in a good chair with some tea (which you will most likely let grow cold) and enjoying.
