Books Don’t let anyone dent your dreams

■ Love is Blind by Ruth E Vallis, Amazon

BLIND before the age of three, Ruth Vallis offers incredible insight into growing up blind.

Determined to succeed, Ruth quickly learned that you can let those who don’t understand you define who you are, or you can ignore them and follow your dreams—as she did.

At every stage of her extraordinary life in Canada, Ruth defied the low expectations of others, and took on such challenges as biking from Ottawa to Toronto, completing a Master’s of Science degree online, and more.

Through it all there was her tender mother, Peach, offering encouragement, support and humor to overcome enormous challenges.

Love is Blind will have you laughing, crying and being inspired within moments of reading through the first chapter.

A physiotherapist for 32 years, Ruth lives in Toronto with her guide dog, Darwin.
