Always Happy or The Story of Helen Keller is a biography written by Jennie Chappell that chronicles the life of Helen Keller, a woman who overcame incredible obstacles to become a renowned author, activist, and lecturer. Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama, and at the age of 19 months, she contracted an illness that left her both deaf and blind. Despite her disabilities, Keller was determined to learn and communicate with the world around her. With the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, Keller learned to read, write, and speak, eventually attending college and becoming a celebrated public figure. The book explores Keller's early struggles with communication and her eventual triumphs, as well as her lifelong activism for disability rights and other social causes. It is a heartwarming and inspiring story of resilience, determination, and the power of education.It is for the rare moral beauty of the subject of this brief biography, rather than for her mental attainments, that the author would more particularly bespeak the attention of the reader. If this true story of a triumph over afflictions and disadvantages which are almost unique in their magnitude, help some who hear of it to appreciate more highly their own blessings, and to believe more fully in the tender care of the only One who is able thus to create a fountain of joy in the midst of a desert of privation, this little book would not have been written in vain.
