Helen Keller in Love by Rosie Sultan ~ Review

by Donna Huber

Since watching The Miracle Worker in school, I have been fascinated with the life of Helen Keller. Following an illness as an infant, she became blind, deaf, and non-speaking. She lived at the turn of the 20th century when people with disabilities were often hidden away. The Miracle Worker, which was more about her teacher and companion Anne Sullivan, only covers a short period of Keller's childhood. So I knew little about her adult life. Helen Keller in Love is about her adult life.
