“I was a teenager when Ann Marston died more than 30 years ago, but I always remembered her accomplishments and the tragedy of her blindness and death. Ann’s family encouraged me to write this book, and they generously shared photographs, documents and memorabilia so that her inspirational life story would not be lost.”
