Tragedy to Triumph tells the story of this amazing woman--revealing how she went from an undisciplined child with severe challenges to one of the true heroes of our world. We also meet the author of this miracle--Helen's teacher, Annie Sullivan. And we learn firsthand how this transformation took place.

We meet these women through the eyes of a young man from our own time. A young man with little sympathy for those who are different from himself...until he enters a mysterious library and finds himself blind and trapped in the past. Befriended by Helen and Annie, he learns that "the only true disability is a disability of the heart."

Tragedy to Triumph is more than the study of the life and times of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan...it's a lesson in acceptance.
