Nobody Told Me!

Joining us on this episode is James Tate Hill and he's the author of a new remarkable memoir which is getting fantastic reviews. The book is called, "Blind Man's Bluff", and Literary Hub calls it "one of the most anticipated books of 2021." In it, James tells the story of losing his sight and hiding it from the world. We were fascinated to hear about how he navigates everyday life with honesty about its challenges and gratitude for the unique outlook his blindness has given him.
