He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance  no fixable inconvenience. Overnight  a rare stroke had cut off blood to one of his optic nerves  rendering him functionally blind in that eye--forever. And he soon learned from doctors that the same disorder could ravage his left eye  too. He could lose his sight altogether. In The Beauty of Dusk  Bruni hauntingly recounts his adjustment to this daunting reality  a medical and spiritual odyssey that involved not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to  and gathering wisdom from  longtime friends and new acquaintances who had navigated their own traumas and afflictions. The result is a poignant  probing  and ultimately uplifting examination of the limits that all of us inevitably encounter  the lenses through which we choose to evaluate them and the tools we have for perseverance. Brunis world blurred in one sense  as he experienced his first real inklings that the day isnt forever and that light inexorably fades  but sharpened in another. Confronting unexpected hardship  he felt more blessed than ever before. There was vision lost. There was also vision found\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964048109621,"sku":"ByrdShop_1432899147","price":58.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781432899141.jpg?v=1770446713","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-beauty-of-dusk-on-vision-lost-and-found-thorndike-press-large-print-biography-and-memoir","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
