John Bramblitt makes his living as a visual artist. His works have been sold in over twenty different countries, and he's received three Presidential Service awards for the art workshops he teaches. He's painted portraits of skateboarder Tony Hawk and blues legend Pops Carter. He's given talks about his art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and there has even been a documentary made about him. And . . . he's blind. When Bramblitt was declared legally blind ten years ago due to complications with epilepsy, his hopes of becoming a creative writing teacher were shattered and he sunk into a deep depression. He felt disconnected from family and friends, alienated and alone. But then something amazing happened--he discovered painting. He learned to distinguish between different colored paints by feeling their textures with his fingers. He taught himself how to paint using raised lines to help him find his way around the canvas, and through something called haptic visualization, which enables him to "see" his subjects through touch. He now paints amazingly lifelike portraits of people he's never seen--including his wife and son. Shouting in the Dark is the story of Bramblitt's life, his journey navigating through this new territory of blindness, and how he ultimately rekindles his joy, passion, and relationships through art.

"In this beautifully written memoir, portrait artist John Bramblitt tells us why being blind doesn't necessarily mean living in a world of darkness. His story is both inspirational and haunting, and readers will find themselves thinking about it long after the last page. It is one of those books you find yourself slowing down at the end just to make it last." --Homer Hickam, Author, Rocket Boys/October Sky "Shouting in the Dark is an incredibly inspiring story of courage and a triumph over what could have been a tragedy." --Sheryl Berk, co-author of Soul Surfer "John's talent for creating emotion through his use of color and texture in his paintings is evident. Hesuccessfully challenges people's conceptions of blindness, ultimately finding that painting gives him a meaningful opportunity to connect to others." --Governor Rick Perry
