In the mid-nineteenth century, Laura Bridgman, a young child from New Hampshire, became one of the most famous women in the world.

Her life was transformed when she became the star pupil of the educational crusader Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe. Against the backdrop of an antebellum Boston, Freeberg tells this extraordinary tale of mentor and student, scientist and experiment.
