Mary Harper, an avid reader since childhood, lives in Houston, TX, with her rescue cat Lily, a mischievous but blind tuxedo cat. Nobody wanted the little blind kitten, but Mary didn’t hesitate. Mary knows about blindness. She is the youngest of four sighted children raised by parents who were both totally blind.
Born in Muncie, Indiana, and a graduate of the University of Virginia, Mary earned her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston. Perhaps as a legacy from helping her parents with everything from reading their mail to inspecting their clothing for spots, she has always been interested in helping others.
In her book, The Sound of Her Voice: My Blind Parents’ Story, she documents their remarkable lives from the time they fell in love at the Indiana School for the Blind through their challenges, determination, and successes.
