“Alexander continues her autobiography, which she began in Taking Hold: My Journey into Blindness…this one is every bit as uplifting and is sure to be read with eagerness.” 

Booklist

Junior Library Guild Selection

 

In this sequel to Taking Hold: My Journey into Blindness, Sally is blind, except for a sliver of sight from her left eye. Now on her own in the city, she is desperate to maintain her independence, despite the fears that assail her as she confronts new obstacles. With the help of friends, she adjusts to her new job at the training program where she had been a student. But when Sally loses the last of her sight, she has to begin again rebuilding her confidence. Conquering her fear, she goes to graduate school and continues to date, hoping to find the one man who is right for her. On My Own is the story of a life rebuilt and joy rediscovered.

 

“This follow-up to Taking Hold: My Journey into Blindness covers the author’s further experiences, including teaching life skills classes for the newly blind, attending graduate school, dating, and dealing with the loss of what little eyesight she still had. The author’s uphill battle for independence and happiness will hold readers’ interest.”—The Horn Book
