Real-life stories written by people living with or loving someone with Usher's Syndrome. The stories paint a clear picture of life with Usher's sharing personal experiences with tremendous emotion and humor. It is hard for people on the 34;outside34; to truly understand what day-to-day life is like for people living with Usher's and this book helps the reader see more clearly what their lives are like on that daily basis. Definitely worth the read!

An amazing and powerful collection of true life showing those who have not experienced usher syndrome first hand how challenging life with usher can be. However, this book provides an incredible insight of the strength these people have day in and day out. I very highlh recomend this book and hope that it can show the rest of the world how much more research really needs to be done to come up with a cure for usher syndrome.

Walk in My Shoes is a fabulous read from 28 authors in 27 stories living with deaf blindness due to Usher Syndrome. Each story tells a different aspect of living with this disease. These authors are such brave souls to let the world into their unique and challenging lives. They never give up and continue to persevere. Their stories will truly inspire and captivate all walks of life. Each chapter has so much to teach each and every one of us. When life seems hard....turn these pages and see how these deaf blind individuals conquer life with a smile on their face. This is absolutely a one of a kind book that has never been written before by so many deaf blind individuals. What an inspiration to all!!!

Yes, I am one of the authors of this special book so writing a review seems kind of weird! However, until I got my own copy of the book, I had not read any of the other 26 stories so I really had no idea how the book was going to be in its entirety. Now that I'm reading it, I am so honored to be a part of this! As a person with Usher syndrome, I have my own experiences and sometimes it seems like I'm all alone in this process. This book confirms just how 34;not alone34; I really am! Each story is different while also teaching us about resilience in the face of adversity. For anyone with Usher syndrome, for anyone who loves or lives or works with someone with Usher syndrome, this book is for you! For anyone who just wants to be inspired, this book is for you! Thank you for the honor of being one of the contributors!
