Summary
Grant Lock directed Afghanistan's largest eye care program. Until he himself became blind.

After battling corruption, injustice and disadvantage in the deserts, mountains and cities of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Lock confronts challengesa - both intimate and globala - with courage and compassion.
