Walk In My Shoes

Walk In My Shoes is the collaborative effort of 28 people affected by Usher syndrome, an incurable, genetically transmitted disease causing combined deafness and blindness.  These authors write with both humor an compassion, sharing their journeys in their new “normal,” knowing that the destination at the end of the long, dark tunnel is predetermined…and refusing to be victims.  Each story is inspiring and breaks stereotypes regarding Usher syndrome by showing that it is possible – not easy, put possible – to have a happy and fulfilling life.
