Summary
Changing My Perspective is a memoir by Rebecca S. Meadows. After the first book, “Because You’re Blind,” Rebecca continues to shed light about the law’s flaws and injustice towards her. In this book, her story begins in the courthouse of the Missoula County in 2012. She talks about “guardianship” being her adversary and the fact that the legal and judicial systems in Montana were full of hidden corruptions. Dehumanized by both her parents and the legal and judicial system, she reveals her tough journey of changing her perspective and overcoming her struggles.
Review
In less than 150 pages, Rebecca managed to share a lot of information that I didn’t know would actually fit in this book. Her life story needs a movie adaptation! I love that she showed how she gradually adjusted to her situation and continued to find ways to do what she can to function more conveniently. Things like learning Braille, finding a talking weighing scale to take care of her physical wellness, and other things that would be of great help for the blind. The most critical fact about being blind is not being able to fully trust anyone because anyone can take advantage. I’m glad she shared how she was able to overcome the unfortunate events that happened to her. I also like the shift of tone which started very angry from the beginning to a loving and caring dog owner, to a woman of triumph and full of confidence. Overall, I’m giving this book 4 out 5 stars. It was informative, enlightening, and inspiring.
