As a toddler, Jan Janicki was diagnosed with juvenile

to cope with fading eyesight. Then two years ago,
following surgical complications, darkness overtook
Janicki’s world and she began living as a blind
person. Listen to her compelling story of coping with
blindness, and the doubt and fear and triumphs that
have marked her personal journey. Janicki will share
her story at the Central Brevard Library in Cocoa.
