Helen's childhood was really rough. She was blind and deaf, she became blind and deaf when she was two years old. When she was five years old, Helen's mom Kate, told her husband that there daughter wanted to talk and understand what people were saying. They called Anne Sullivan and Anne tutored Helen, until she knew what people were saying. Anne then taught Helen lots of things, then, Helen was free. Her first word was Doll, her second word was water. Helen then could talk, then she started writing books.
