Erik Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder that would leave him blind by the age of thirteen. In this inspiring memoir, Weihenmayer speaks of the role his family played in his battle to break through the barriers of blindness. Erik also tells the story of his dream to climb the world's Seven Summits, something fewer than two hunderd mountaineers have achieved.
