Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
As the “Seeing Eye Girl” for her blind, artistic, and mentally ill mother, Beverly Armento was intimately connected with and responsible for her, even though her mother physically and emotionally abused her. Beverly’s mother regained her sight and went on to enjoy a moment of fame as an artist, but these positive turns did nothing to stop her disintegration into delusions. In this memoir, Beverly shares the coping strategies she invented to get herself through the trials of her young life, and the ways in which school and church served as refuges over the course of her journey.

Here are a few quick thoughts on this 5 star review.
Seeing Eye Girl is an inspirational story that is masterfully written. This extremely powerful told story of a young girl surviving in a poor dysfunctional family. I promise you will not be disappointed if you select this book. We need more teachers today with the same drive and determination of Beverly. This book will surprise you!
