Publisher's Summary

Close your eyes and get ready to see the world in a new and more positive way. As a child in Toronto, Molly Burke was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and became completely sightless as a teenager. Now an award-winning YouTube star and global influencer, Molly shares what it’s like to be a purple-haired, pink-obsessed fashion and makeup lover in a seeing world. She speaks with authenticity and candor about how she tackles the preconceived notions we have around blindness; Molly has made it her mission to make us see her - and ourselves- in a wholly empowering way. Learn about her struggles with bullying and anxiety, her quest for inclusivity, how she built a successful influencer business (with more than 1.8 million followers), and what it’s really like to travel with the true star of this audio, her service dog, Gallop.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library on your web browser, along with the audio.

Very insightful

A really nice insight into the world of someone who “sees” the world differently to me and most of us. After some dark times, it’s inspiring how Molly finds so much joy in this world

A beautiful story told by a beautiful person.

The story was so well told and it felt like Molly was having a conversation with you rather than telling a story. I love the way she expressed her voice and made it really engaging. I've been following Molly for some time going through my own vision loss journey and I really relate to her story and it has helped me a lot to learn to love and accept myself for who I am and keep going. Thank you Molly.

What a wonderful story!

I am so glad I listened to your book Molly, this was such a great way to summarise and add to all the stories and messages I have gained from watching you on YouTube. Such an entertaining book along with being so educational at the same time. Thank you for being you and sharing you with the rest of the world.
