About the Book

This is the autobiography of England’s fi rst blind author to physically write a book without aid. Many years ago Vendon taught himself to touch type and has been surprising the world with his gift of insight ever since. He fi nds ways of enjoying life to its fullest, despite his crippling disability. During his struggles with his failing eyesight, he encounters more unexpected news from his doctor. He is now going both deaf and blind.

He battles through immense emotional turmoil, falling into depression and lifting himself out of it again with God’s help. It is a journey of desperation, disbelief, acceptance, survival and triumph told in his rather unconventional style of snappy dialogue mixed with racing inner thoughts that display the true crisis he is going through. He jumps across timelines and emotions, expressing the chaos that is forced upon his life through his circumstances.

Join him on his journey and fi nd out how some disabled people cope with their diagnosis. There are many tips on how to manage diffi cult issues and challenges we may encounter during our lifetime. The stories will certainly make you laugh and even cry at the same time but will inspire you to see the brighter side to life. Vendon is able to give insight into a world where disability is an uncomfortable topic, where the NHS has two faces, one emotionally disconnected, the other surprisingly engaged. All of this is set amongst the rising tension between diff erent race groups in England. He indeed makes a reference to the New Cross Fire of 1981 which led to the Brixton Uprising.

It is a gripping true story full of dark humour, aimed at people seeking guidance for the challenges we must all face in life as well as highlighting disability awareness.

A must read.

Now I can See

Smile.
When was the last time that you smiled? Some of us are so busy trying to sort out the various problems in our lives that we don’t leave enough time to smile. Our smile is replaced with a frown everytime we concentrate on a problem. When we force ourselves to smile more, it magically helps us in coping with our problems. Force yourself to walk around with a smile on your face. I’m sure that you look like a completely different person! Find something to smile about. Let your personality radiate through your smile. Remind yourself on a regular basis to smile. We should aim to smile at least once a day.

Stephen Marley
