What would you do if, no matter how hard you tried you could not learn to read? Would you continue to try or would you resign yourself to pretending, for the benefit of others, that you could read? If you were able to read, it would affect every area of your life. How could you hide this fact from those around you? And how would it affect your self-esteem? This book tells the stories of eight people who never stopped trying. From humiliation in school and the anxiety of coping with everyday life unable to read street signs and menus, to shopping, driving, and working, these people live in a world of dashed hopes and dreams -- regardless of outward appearances -- until with the help from Dr Guyer, they discovered their learning disability and unlocked their true gifts.

I am a 62 year old male who was diagnosed a dyslexic at 16 (1967),
Many older dyslexics have not had the luxuries and privileges portrayed in this book . I believe this book paints a rather poor picture of what it is like growing up dyslexic.Her solution is to join her program and you will be mainstreamed. She omits too much to be considered a legitimate book on the subject. It is a sales pitch!
