Fairly easy to read. Produced by Al Haines "Sight to the Blind" by Lucy S. Furman is a fictional story written during the early 20th century, specifically around the year 1914. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the Appalachian region, focusing on the themes of compassion, education, community, and healing, primarily within a settlement school context. Furman explores the struggles faced by marginalized mountain communities in Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, emphasizing the need for social reform and personal redemption. The story centers around Aunt Dalmanutha, a blind woman burdened by grief and bitterness after losing her daughter, Evy. Her life takes a transformative turn when she encounters Miss Shippen, a trained nurse at the Settlement School, who educates her on health and the misconceptions surrounding her suffering. As Aunt Dalmanutha undergoes treatment for her cataracts, she not only regains her sight but also experiences a profound change in her outlook on life. The narrative illustrates the power of knowledge, kindness, and community, culminating in Aunt Dalmanutha's realization that love, rather than judgment, is the answer to her pain. The story serves as an inspiring testament to the human spirit's resilience and the importance of connection and education in overcoming adversity.
