Produktinformationen zu „The Blind Mechanic (ePub)“
A daughter's inspiring biography of her father, who lost his sight in a massive maritime disaster-and went on to build a rewarding life and career.
Eric Davidson was a beautiful, fair-haired toddler when the historic Halifax Explosion struck, devastating the Nova Scotia capital and killing almost two thousand people while seriously injuring thousands more. Eric lost both eyes-a tragedy that his mother never fully recovered from. Eric, however, was positive and energetic. He also developed a fascination with cars and how they worked-and he later decided, against all likelihood, to become a mechanic.
Assisted by his brothers, who read to him from manuals, he worked hard, passed examinations, and carved out a decades-long career. This is the true story of his remarkable life and relentless determination, as told by his daughter.
