Description
Unable to see or hear or talk, a near-savage child named Helen Keller lives in dark fear-filled silence. Then a strong-willed teacher named Annie Sullivan achieves a breakthrough, a way into Helen's mind:
"She placed my hand under the water spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled "water" into the other. Suddenly the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!"
