CONNECTING DOTS A Blind Life

Joshua Miele tells his life's story from age 4, when a neighbor poured sulfuric acid over his head, blinding and disfiguring him. Today this MacArthur Fellowship recipient is involved in research and innovations to make the sighted world accessible to the blind. Greg D. Barnett narrates the tremendous hurdles Miele overcame in order to live a normal life in a challenging sighted world. Barnett's voice does not vary as he goes into minute detail about injuries, treatments, home life, education, relationships, and inventions. The many quotes from friends, family, mentors, and associates have the same detached voice, except for those of Klaus, Miele's German-American stepfather, who retains his accent as he encourages and mentors Miele.
