    About this audiobook

    From the Author of the New York Times bestseller Hippie Boy: A Girl's Story
    What would you do if you learned you were going blind?
    In her gripping memoir, Ingrid takes readers into her world as she grapples with the devastating news that an incurable blinding eye disease is eating away at her vision. Terrified that she will miss out on her daughters’ lives, become a burden to her husband and lose the career and independence that defines her, Ingrid, a thirty-seven-year-old journalist and mother of two, embarks on a quest to save her sight. Through her journey, she learns to focus on the Now, go after her dreams and see what really counts—something no amount of vision loss can take from her.
