It was the late 1940s when a tall, skinny sixth-grader picked up a
shiny object off the ground in her small Missouri town and became
the victim of a tragic circumstance-an explosive left carelessly
behind took away her vision and changed her forever.
With a quietly inspirational style, Nancy Burns shares her
poignant life experiences as a blind woman with the hope of
educating and enlightening others about certain societal
misconceptions and attitudes regarding those who are disabled.
Beginning with the moment when she woke up in the hospital-both
eyes bandaged-and realized she would not receive the emotional
comfort and guidance she so desperately needed, Burns offers a
compelling glimpse into the fulfilling world she created for
herself, despite her disability. Her personal story chronicles her
struggles as a young girl learning to live with her vision loss,
her family's inability to acknowledge her disability, and her
determined journey to acquire the skills that led her to eventually
become a vocational counselor who worked with disabled clients.
In "Once Upon a Challenge: Hearing is Believing" Burns offers
an important message-the way one chooses to live with challenges
becomes the key to success in life.
