Summary

At 18, Grace Halloran was a rebel street kid who found herself in trouble. When a new program gave her the chance for an outside day job while still in prison, she took it. Despite this she was still not able to free herself from making bad choices. She was caught breaking the rules of the program and stripped of her privileges.

She was also pregnant and that brought with it a parole and a devastating betrayal. The price of her freedom was giving up her unborn child for adoption. Out of prison, she plunged into the heady world of radical antiwar politics, playing through the wild world of the late 60s in San Francisco.

She then began to experience recurring debilitating headaches, which drove her to seek medical help. "Sorry, we can't find anything wrong, no tumors or strange diseases", they said. "However, you are going blind. It's incurable, irreversible, and hereditary".

She was 23. She bore a second child, a son. When she was told that he would probably go blind too, she felt like she needed to fight back. She felt that there must be a solution. It made her mad that the only answer was "do nothing". So she changed her life. She made a vow to make sure her son and her family would not go blind.

This is the true story of Grace Halloran, a survivor, a person who achieved things against all odds. She tells how she, a blind mother, raised her son. She recounts the step-by-step process of intuition and serendipity that led to her developing unorthodox therapies which finally reversed her irreversible disease and reversed it in her family and in others as well! She created a program for reversing degenerative eye disease that has lasted decades and has helped thousands of people. Step into her incredible life and inspiring story. 

Her story has won awards for its ability to inspire and encourage others to face their fears and listen to their hearts. She helped many in her life overcome Macular Degeneration, Retinitis Pigmentosa, and Stargardt - and she is still helping people today with the program she created before her death. Let her inspire you!
