Finding The Color In My Black and White World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781497509603)

Brielle Corrente is a senior at Forest Hills High School, located in a small town in Pennsylvania. Brielle was crowned Miss Teen Pennsylvania International 2014 in April 2014. When Brielle was fourteen she was diagnosed with Optic Neuritis and as a result lost the majority of her vision and is color blind. She lost the ability to read, dance, study, and other things she loved to do overnight. Brielle likes to say that through finding a friend, finding a passion, and always remaining true to herself she was able to overcome these obstacles. While reigning as Miss Teen Pennsylvania International 2014 Brielle hopes to inspire kids, teens, and even adults to overcome any types of adversity that they may face in their lives and ultimately find the true colors in their colorless worlds. Finding The Color in My Black and White World tells the story of overcoming adversity and finding the good, the magic, in something that may seem impossible to overcome. All funds raised from the selling of this book will be donated to The Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania because they first helped Brielle find her colors in her black and white world.
