Overview

Only you can decide what your limitations are.
That's what Sparrow Sardothian proves in her debut book and autobiography, as she overcomes her labeled "disability" and the discrimination and bullying she faces because of it.
Truthfully and touchingly written from the heart, this personal memoir tells of the bravery and strength of an African American woman who lived in poverty and dysfunction while slowly going blind. She shares honestly about her experience losing her vision as a pre-teen and how she had to re-learn everything from scratch.
Floating Candle is a powerful, emotional piece that tells how Sparrow rediscovered herself by developing a sense of fashion, redefining freedom, forging friendships, and finding love and purpose. She shares lessons she learned along the way, from mistakes and broken relationships to encouraging vignettes. This poignant story paints the picture of a lost girl, stumbling in the darkness, who became a strong-willed, unbreakable, and fierce woman.
