520    "The incredible life story of Haben Girma, the first 
       Deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, and her amazing 
       journey from isolation to the world stage." -- From 
       Amazon.com summary. 
520    Haben grew up spending summers with her family in the 
       enchanting Eritrean city of Asmara. There, she discovered 
       courage as she faced off against a bull she couldn't see, 
       and found in herself an abiding strength as she absorbed 
       her parents' harrowing experiences during Eritrea's thirty
       -year war with Ethiopia. Their refugee story inspired her 
       to embark on a quest for knowledge, traveling the world in
       search of the secret to belonging. She explored numerous 
       fascinating places, including Mali, where she helped build
       a school under the scorching Saharan sun. Her many 
       adventures over the years range from the hair-raising to 
       the hilarious.  Haben defines disability as an opportunity
       for innovation. She learned non-visual techniques for 
       everything from dancing salsa to handling an electric saw.
       She developed a text-to-braille communication system that 
       created an exciting new way to connect with people. Haben 
       pioneered her way through obstacles, graduated from 
       Harvard Law, and now uses her talents to advocate for 
       people with disabilities.  HABEN takes readers through a 
       thrilling game of blind hide-and-seek in Louisiana, a 
       treacherous climb up an iceberg in Alaska, and a magical 
       moment with President Obama at The White House. Warm, 
       funny, thoughtful, and uplifting, this captivating memoir 
       is a testament to one woman's determination to find the 
       keys to connection.
