David Tatel has served nearly 30 years on America's second highest court. Yet he has been blind for the past 50 of his 80-plus years. At first, he tried to hide his deteriorating vision, and for years, he denied that it had any impact on his career. Only recently, partly thanks to his first-ever guide dog, Vixen, has he come to fully accept his blindness and the role it's played in his personal and professional lives.

What The Reviewers Say


The Washington Post
.
Julie Stone Peters,
The New York Times Book Review
Extraordinary.

Kirkus
Although his memoir is both affecting and inspiring, of particular interest to readers of a legal bent are Tatel’s well-informed criticism of the current Supreme Court’s conservative majority.

Publishers Weekly
Inspiring.
