Eileen Eide, standing, helps her daughter, Mariah, get set up to begin composing on a "keyboardless" laptop computer. Mariah uses an "eye mouse" that allows her to select letters as she composes. Mariah completed her first published novel, "The Wild West," in December of 2016. To help Mariah "gain her own voice," Eileen attended kindergarten through high school with Mariah as an aide and encourager.
