The Story of My Life

Helen Keller, born in June 1880 in a tiny town in northern Alabama, was nineteen months old and had just begun to talk when she contracted an unnamed disease which robbed her of her sight and hearing. Through the help of family, friends, and a heroic teacher, Helen not only learned to read and write but also learned Greek, Latin, French and graduated from college. This is an inspirational story written in her own words.
