Transcript: In 1916, Helen Keller was living in Wrentham, Massachusetts with her teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy, Their companion and assistant, Polly Thomson, and Helen's mother. Mrs. Kate Keller. "Mother! the sweetest word in all languages." A young journalist, Peter Fagan, Helen's personal secretary, was also living in the house. Helen and Peter fell deeply in love. They spent long hours talking, holding hands, and going for long walks etc... Peter was the first person that ever told Helen she was beautiful. "His love was a bright sun that shone upon my helplessness and isolation." They decided to get married and applied for a marriage license. They worried how Helen's mother and Anne Sullivan would react. Before they could tell anyone about the engagement, a servant told Anne Sullivan that he saw Peter and Helen Kissing. On that same day, The Boston Globe Newspaper reported about the marriage license. The publicity was intense. Helen's family disapproved of the engagement. Peter was immediately fired and asked to leave the house. Before Peter left, He managed to give Helen a letter he had written, using the Braille writing system. The young couple made plans to runaway and get married. Friends helped them exchange letters with each other. Soon, Helen and her mother went to Montgomery, Alabama to visit Helen's sister, Mildred. They planned on traveling by ship to Savannah, Georgia, and then finishing the journey by train. Peter bought a ticket on the same ship. Peter and Helen Planned to elope to Florida when the ship landed, and be married by a minister friend of Peter's. But Helen's mother discovered that Peter was a passenger on the ship. So she traveled with Helen to Alabama by train, instead. Peter was left to sail on the ship alone. Helen spent the long warm days in Alabama, at her sister Mildred's house, waiting for Peter. One morning Peter appeared at Helen's sister's house. As Peter spoke to Helen on the porch, Mildred's husband approached Peter, with a gun. Peter bravely stood up to the gun. He said he loved Helen and wanted to marry her. But he was forced to leave. Helen and Peter stayed in contact, and made plans to escape together, on a certain night. Helen waited for Peter. On the chosen night, Helen quietly got dressed and packed her suitcase. She sat on the porch and waited for Peter to arrive. Helen waited patiently for Peter, all night. But Peter never showed up. Helen was desperately confused, and very heartbroken. She later came to believe that perhaps it was for the best. But she always referred to this time of love, as her "Little island of joy, in a sea of darkness." AFTERWARDS ... Helen and Peter continued to exchange letters for a few months. But they never saw each other again. Peter continued his career as a journalist and political writer. Later, he married and had children. His daughter, Anne Fagan Ginger, a lawyer and political activist, died August 20, 2025. Aged 100
