Quote: "We all made a pact to continue to be nurses as long as we could stand with walkers."
But Julia developed macular degeneration first. During the time frame of this story she still sees large shapes and colors, but is classified as legally blind. This is a short e-book in which Julia pushes herself to go to a reunion. Instead of reinforcing her belief that she's become useless, she finds ways to stay active in the nursing field.
It's fiction, but the Author's Note makes clear that it's autobiographical to some extent too. It's not a romance--Julia is happily married with grown-up children--but it opens a series of romances about the younger people in its fictional world.
Everyone who works with computers daily, feeling the tension between "Looking at blinking boxes is hard on our eyes" and "To a considerable extent computers can replace our eyes," is likely to be interested in this book.
