(3) 4-6 Miller uses letters written by Annie Sullivan as the basis for this fictional account. Narrator Annie describes the difficult early relationship between herself and her student, Helen Keller. Miller's writing is respectful without sugarcoating the subject. End matter, including an afterword and period photographs, help differentiate between fiction and biography. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
