Plot

The rocky soil of Putnam County, New York, was good for little farming, yet many Puritan families, buoyed by their Christian faith, eked out an existence there. Into such a family was Frances Jane "Fanny" Crosby born on March 24, 1820. Young Fanny's eyes displayed the scars of incompetent medical treatment that would render her sightless for life. Yet the light that illuminated this brave girl's soul was destined to electrify generations to come. Though Fanny Crosby saw nothing with her eyes, she "saw" much with her spirit-and penned scores of timeless, beloved hymns like "Blessed Assurance," "To God Be the Glory," "Sweet Hour of Prayer," and "All the Way My Savior Leads Me."
