Full Title "Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther Than the Eye Can See"

A profoundly moving account by a man, blinded at age thirteen, of his conquest of the world's highest peak.

So vivid in its narration, that one is taken to the time when he sent for a Braille book about earlier climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, to everything that he learned that led him to his goal, to his mindset, and the people around him. Definitely not a plain tearjerker about overcoming disability; it is
nothing less than an awe-inspiring tale of heroism.

The man is evidently as gifted a writer, too, with his unembellished words providing us with pictures he "saw" and lived through. Truly an inspiration, especially to the young.
