My last half of 7th grade and the following summer brought new life experiences and a few sad farewells: a new school, an introduction to new technology for the blind, my first broken bone, the demise of choir, and my last time at Camp Stone. Experiences gained both inside and outside of school would set the stage for my 8th grade year to be one of great transition, to be detailed in Book Three.

Tracing the author's life from preschool to 7th grade, the narrative is dominated by Jewish studies, music, schooling, hard life lessons, and some very difficult family dynamics. Growing up in Dayton, Ohio, the blind author had painful introductions to the Holocaust, religious prejudice, and race relations. Missing, however, is any shred of self-pity. His resilience is astonishing. (Book 1 of 5.)
