Blind since the age of four, Ved Mehta led a lonely and turbulent childhood
in India until he was accepted to the Arkansas School for the Blind, to which
he flew alone at fifteen. America and the school changed his life, leading

Face to Face (1957), Mehta’s first book, is the author’s autobiography
touching upon childhood, blindness and remaking himself. It remains one
of his most beloved works.
