Adventures Of A Vip [Paperback]

Diana spends most of her life feeling like something isnt rightand worried that maybe the problem is actually with her.

Continually struggling to differentiate between colors, she makes fashion faux pas that cause her sisters eyes to roll. Diana trips over curbs and small children and cant always recognize people or places she knows well. And if those small embarrassing situations arent bad enough, wrecking her bicycle and car truly cause her serious concern.

Friends and family tell Diana to get her eyes checkedagain. The eye doctor tells Diana that her prescription hasnt changed and that shes just near-sighted. And meanwhile, Diana goes through life feeling like she must be clumsy and inattentive no matter how much she pays attention.

Based on real experiences from author Vivian McDermotts own life with an undiagnosed degenerative eye disease, Adventures of a VIP tells of one Montanan womans struggle to navigate the physical worldboth before and after shes diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at age fifty-six.

Inspiring and engaging, this story explores the emotional and psychological side effects of living with an undiagnosed condition as well as the process of learning to cope with physical impairments.
