The Blind Chick - Vision Is Much More Than Seeing

Totally Blind, Cancer Survivor Sue-Ellen Lovett raises $3.2 million while sitting on her bottom!
Have you ever met someone who can do such a thing? I hadn't... until I met Sue-Ellen.
She should come with a WARNING label! What would that label say? "Park your excuses, remove 'gunna' from your vocabulary, if you want to achieve your goals, buckle up! But don't worry, you won't be alone. I'll be with you as we take One Step At A Time."
Born into a family with a blind mother, amputee brother, sister with the same disease that caused Sue-Ellen's total blindness; how's that for a huge amount of feeling sorry for yourself?
But no!
Sue-Ellen embraces life with a philosophy of: 'If there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel, go down and light the bloody thing yourself!'
What you experience in this book isn't just words on a page. Don't expect all sunshine and roses, this is a real story. What you will quickly discover in this hilarious, raw and very real peak into a life well lived is...
Sue-Ellen is NOT like everyone else. She is a rare gem in this world. She lives in total darkness yet the light she shines on so many lives, every day, is beyond measure.
What readers are already saying: "If you had told me that the person who'd be able to teach me to see, to listen, to enrich my day-to-day life with a joy, a laughter, and an ability to celebrate life, even the suckiest moments, was a Blind Chick, I'd never have believed you."
