Book Summary or Synopsis

When Helen Keller was six years old she behaved like a wild, frightened animal. She could not see, or hear, or speak, and in her own silent, dark world she only understood that to get what she wanted, she had to strike
out for it. Then Anne Sullivan came to stay. She traced the first letters, then words in Helen's hand, until it was clear that this was how Helen would “talk” to other people, and ask questions, and learn. With her devoted “Teacher,” Helen grew up a strong fun-loving, intelligent girl,
dedicating herself to teaching what she learned from Anne Sullivan.
