Written with piercing clarity and quiet courage, the memoir presents an intimate portrait of growing up blind in 1930s and 1940s India, navigating family expectations, and finding his way to Arkansas School for the Blind at just fifteen years old. Mehta argues through lived experience that disability is never the defining boundary others assume it to be, illustrating instead the power of intellect, determination, and a relentless hunger for independence. The narrative moves across continents and cultures, capturing the collision of East and West with a lyrical precision that marks Mehta as one of the finest prose stylists of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956364095707,"sku":"2026200008593-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c8483487-081a-42f6-b084-a8899bd536d3.png?v=1783500293","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008593-secondhand-face-to-face","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
