Going blind : a memoir
The story of one rural North Dakota woman's family who lived with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic disease of blindness, within their collective lives. The author weaves her family's story into an analysis of the roots and ramifications of the various metaphorical meanings of blindness, touching on the Catholic Church of the 1940s and 1950s, Japanese internment, the Germans from Russia, and the experiences of Native Americans in North Dakota
