Introducing the Author
Dorothy H. Stiefel

These books represent a personal portrayal of how the author overcame adversity and encroaching blindness in the prime of her life. Alone, not knowing another person affected with this slow, insidious genetic disorder, she developed her own coping strategies. Through her courage and persistence she was able to reach out to others thereby becoming known as "The RP Lady" and doctors began referring their patients to her for understanding and emotional support. She claims that attitude and faith in oneself, along with developing an indelible sense of humor, has been the key to happiness.
