Summary:
"Robert Mercer's life could have been very different. He was born with very low vision and, as a youngster, struggled in
school
. But through the intervention of a caring teacher and the support of his family, he found his way to the
Halifax
School
for the
Blind
and into the classroom of Mrs. Beaton. It was there that he discovered his voice, a voice he uses to recount his remarkable journey from a shy little boy to a community leader. Robert Mercer was born visually impaired and for
nine
years
, he attended the
School
for the
Blind
in
Halifax
. Upon graduation and a Bachelor's Degree from St. Mary's University, he joined the staff of the Canadian National Institute for the
Blind
(CNIB). At the age of thirty, he was appointed National President and CEO for the Institute, responsible for the work of three thousand staff and a hundred thousand volunteers, coast to coast. In a second career, Robert worked for 25
years
in the Federal public service, retiring as Assistant Deputy Minister at Veterans Affairs Canada in Charlottetown, where he now enjoys writing books, mostly fiction for children and adults, and is still very much young at heart."--Back cover.
