- Summary:
- Eleven-year-old Jessica Perk thinks she might be a photographer, a gymnast, a soccer player or maybe the first girl president of the United States. 'We'll just have to wait and see,' she says. But seeing is a problem for Jessica, who has Stargardt's, an inherited form of macular degeneration which usually appears between the ages of six and twenty and causes loss of sharpness of vision, decreased color vision, and blind spots. It's estimated that over 25,000 Americans have the disease, and there's no cure. Jessica had normal vision until the age of eight and then, in a few short years, became legally blind.
