More Reviews About Julia

“Julia Spencer’s relationships – those with her physician, the Commission for the Blind and, of course, her wonderful family – intimately teach us about the challenges (and the benefits) of losing one’s vision. Most of all, Looking Through a Keyhole reflects Julia’s striking ability to adapt to, and ultimately embrace, a newfound freedom.”
– Ami Cuneo, medical student
The Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University

“Julia has a great writing style – genuine, sincere, and captivating. The conversations will draw you in…. Most of all, she reveals her innermost feelings in a way few other authors on blindness do.”
– Dean and Naomi Tuttle, authors of Self-Esteem and Adjusting With Blindness

“The dream in the opening paragraph was terrifying and the only dream I have ever liked in a book…. People will want to read your story – and will take it to heart – I did.”
– Bruce Jay Friedman, author and screenwriter of Splash

“Inspirational as humor alternates with bleak reality in a fine balance between description and emotional response.”
– Walt Giersbach, author of Cruising the Green of Second Avenue

“The writing is alive … the narrative digs back into past attitudes and events, and the self-examination regarding lack of trust and the need for independence are honest and compelling.”
– Diana Elliott, writer and editor
