from This Boy's Life
by Tobias Wolff
Our car boiled over again just after my mother and I crossed
the Continental Divide? While we were waiting for it to cool we
heard, from somewhere above us, the bawling of an airhom.
The sound got louder and then a big truck came around the
corner and shot past us into the next curve, its trailer shimmying
wildly. We stared after it "Oh, Toby," my mother said, "he's lost
his brakes.
The sound of the hom grew distant, then faded in the wind
that sighed in the trees all around us.
By the time we got there, quite a few people were standing
along the cliff where the truck went over. It had smashed through
the guardrails and fallen hundreds of feet through empty space

what book are we talking about here

at nineteen years old, nicole c. kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. she is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights out. instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. she joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

when kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. as her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. but if she comes clean with her secret, and comes to terms with the loss, she can still win her happy ending
