This book, written by Doug Eadie (Ethiopia 64-67), tells the inspiring and amazing true story of Virginia Jacko, the blind CEO of the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. Virginia Jacko was a senior financial executive at Purdue University when she learned that retinitis pigmentosa would gradually take away her eyesight. As the darkness grew around her, she refused to retreat and bemoan her fate. She chose, instead, to enroll at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired as a vocational rehabilitation student. In just four years, she became the first blind president & CEO of the Miami Lighthouse in its 80-year history. In recounting Virginia’s odyssey from tragedy to renewal, The Blind Visionary teaches powerful lessons about overcoming fear, embracing change, and living your life’s mission fully and passionately. Virginia Jacko’s entire 20 percent royalty on the sale of all versions of The Blind Visionary is donated to The Miami Lighthouse. Read an interview with Virginia.
The publisher is offering a 20% discount to the Peace Corps Community. The books can be purchased at www.theblindvisionary.com/store using the coupon code: “PC20″.
