When she was just four years old, Molly Burke was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare, degenerative disease that promised to steadily destroy the light-sensing cells in her eyes. As her world grew darker over the next decade, Molly s friends fell away and she became a target for bullies. Unable to share or escape her pain, she descended into depression, self-harm and thoughts of suicide. She couldn t see the faces of the classmates who tormented her, but with the unfailing support of her family, she finally found the courage to speak out. "Through My Eyes: Blind and Bullied, But Not Broken" is an intimate account of Molly s journey through darkness, and ultimate emergence as a passionate advocate for bullying prevention. Written as a collection of diary entries, it sheds light on the heart-wrenching and inspiring experiences of a young woman searching for her place in the world."
