Mary Sullivan was born illegitimate, and partially blind. She was
adopted from a Catholic orphanage by a fanatical, middle aged
couple, with no children of their own. Because of MRS. Sullivan's
health problems, and her inexperience with small children, Mary was
volleyed back and forth between the infant home, and her adopted
home. Mary had bonded with one of the nuns, and preferred the
infant home to the Sullivan home. This caused a lot of anger, and
resentment, resulting in years of physical, verbal, and
psychological abuse. Mary was set along a path of institutions, and
more abuse. When she was twelve Mary was diagnosed as semi
autistic. Because of this, and her compulsion to run away, she
wound up in a very controversial treatment center up North. Then at
age seventeen Mary received her big break when she was enrolled in
The Perkins School for the blind, in Massachusetts. She fell in
love with the school, but her emotional scars from her past got in
the way frequently. After two years Mary reluctantly graduated, and
stumbled head long in to the adult world, not knowing what she was
doing. This book is for people who have been beaten down by the
system, but not beaten.
