Do You Dream In Color:
Insights from a Girl Without Sight by
Laurie Rubin
Laurie Rubin's memoir of how
she overcame her blindness to carve out a career as an operatic singer is a
testament to an unquenchable spirit.
Born to intelligent, affluent and loving parents in
California, Laurie was fortunate to have had all the advantages that such an
upbringing would suggest. Except for one thing - Laurie was born blind, unable
to see anything except white light. But Laurie, as every page of her entrancing
memoir testifies, was also born with an unstoppable optimism - a can-do
attitude that refuses to give up on any aspect of life's riches. Backed up by her
family, she learned to ski, she has a bat mitzvah and discovers a wonderful
singing voice coupled with a rare musical talent.
Every page of this book is infused by Laurie's unstoppable drive to live life
to its fullest. The words "I can't" are simply not in her vocabulary.
Instead, she asks, "how can I?" -- and then she goes ahead and does
whatever it is.
As always, I would strongly advise readers to read
this book because it’s a great read that will inspire people from all
backgrounds to achieve their dreams without any hesitations.
