Customer Reviews

What an amazing life?

I am really enjoying this autobiography. Ms. Crosby had an amazing life. She befriended at least 2 American presidents, a senator and many others in New York and national politics. She spoke before the joint sessions of Congress on 2 ocassions. She uses very beautiful and poetic language to describe places that she has been and people she met in her lifetime. The imagery is so wonderful and descriptive that you forget she is blind.
