Description
"For me to write a book is an enormous undertaking. I sit at a typewriter and write words on paper that I will never see." With these words Robert Kemper begins the moving story of his gradual blindness and adjustment to his new life. He describes it as very much like an elephant trying to learn to do ballet. It is not good ballet but it is amazing that he dances at all! In 1971 Robert Kemper was riding high. He had just been appointed editor of Christian Ministry, a new national magazine.
