From the author of Hippie Boy: A Girl's Story Imagine walking into
an eye doctor's office for the first time in your life expecting to
walk out with a cute pair of red cat-eye frames--only to learn you
suffer from an incurable degenerative eye disease and are already
legally blind. In her powerful memoir FOCUS, Ingrid Ricks delves
into the shock of discovering at age thirty-seven that she was in
the advanced stages of Retinitis Pigmentosa, a devastating
degenerative eye disease that doctors said would eventually steal
her remaining eyesight. FOCUS takes readers into Ingrid's world as
she faces the crippling fear of not being able to see her two young
daughters grow up, of becoming a burden to her husband, of losing
the career she loves, and of being robbed of the independence that
defines her. Ultimately, FOCUS is about Ingrid's 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.
