Unique Perspectives in Fiction That Changed the Way I Think

This book contains the perspective of a teenager with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This book contains the perspective of a teenager who has recently become blind.
This book/play contains the perspective of a Black family struggling to uphold their financial dignity in the 1950s.
