The Story of My Life

About the Book: The Story of My Life

The Story of My Life is the autobiography of Helen Keller, who was left deaf and blind at the age of nineteen months as a result of an acute illness. It was written when she was enrolled at Radcliffe College in her early twenties, and first appeared in instalments in the Ladies Home Journal in 1902. Moving past the early stages of the illness, The Story of My Life focuses on Kellers tutelage under her teacher, Anne Sullivan. A story of hope, perseverance and joy, The Story of My Life details Helens remarkable psychological and intellectual growth, and comes together in a tale of triumph over difficulties that would be considered insurmountable to most.
