Check This Box If You Are Blind is the story of one man's journey
into blindness. Andy, 42, loves dogs, Dracula, vintage cars,
unicorns, and Olivia Newton-John. He's sensitive. Stubborn. And
blind. Andy disagrees about the blind part. His lost sight, he
says, will be back any minute now. He has decided to pass as
sighted until his vision returns. "Because my true self is my
sighted self," he explains. But Andy's sight is fading fast. He's
making more mistakes these days: at work, at home, losing things,
bumping into things. He's putting his job, many friendships, and
even his personal safety at risk. When is it wrong to talk someone
you love out of a wish that can't come true? Susan Meyers is Andy's
older sister and protector. She used to hold his fat little hand in
hers every morning and walk him to school when they were small. She
lives far away now, but she can't stop picturing Andy feeling for
the smoothness of walls with his hands, for the suddenness of
stairs with his feet. She's supposed to save her brother, to swoop
in and perform some sort of rescue, right here, right now. But how?
And she has questions. Why is blindness so frightening? What is her
brother losing, exactly, and why can't he find a way to live
without it? This is the wonderful, engaging story of a sister's
struggle to protect her brother, a man who calls her his guardian
angel but refuses to be guarded. Beautifully written and
sensitively told, it takes up questions that brothers, sisters, and
caregivers of all stripes must ask.
