Elizabeth Pizzarello’s memoir, "Eclipsed," is an unflinchingly honest account of one woman’s struggle with going blind and overcoming adversity, told with refreshing candor and a touch of humor. 
The story begins with Elizabeth receiving the devastating diagnosis of a degenerative eye disorder, and her doctors informing her that if the disease took the course expected, she would be blind by age forty. At the time, she was twenty-two. 
Elizabeth's successful adjustment to losing her sight would have been a lovely ending to the story but fate held another big twist for her. After a decade of blindness, an unexpected encounter with a doctor brought Elizabeth startling news. A recently developed lens implant could possibly restore some vision. 
Post surgery, Elizabeth comes face-to-face with the passage of time.  Her efforts to navigate this new world are at once mind-blowing and funny.
Join us to learn about Elizabeth's miraculous and life-altering adventure.
