AmazonFocus1At 37, journalist Ingrid Ricks is shocked to learn she suffers from advanced stages of  Retinitis Pigmentosa, a devastating degenerative eye disease that doctors said would eventually steal her remaining eyesight. Gripped with the terrifying fear that she wouldn’t be able to see her two young daughters grow up, would become a burden to her husband, and would lose the career and independence that defines her, Ingrid embarks on eight-year quest to fix her eyes that, instead, ends up fixing her life.
