The book is the story of Matias Reyes who confessed to the rape of the Central Park Jogger and his connection to the Central Park Five heretofore unknown as told by the attorney who represented him and the attorney's opinion the Central Park Five had, in fact, attacked the jogger along with Reyes who was there as a result of his friendship with Steve Lopez who was one of those originally accused but not convicted. The author re-discovered a tape given to him by the District Attorney in 1989 as part of the discovery process in which Reyes confessed as part of a police interrogation process to all crimes he had committed without ever mentioning the Central Park rape which he admitted to some twelve years later. In that tape, which the author had completely forgotten about over the years included a description of young man named "Steve" with whom he had committed several robberies and a rape. His description of "Steve" was very detailed which included curly hair and a small scar on Steve's right cheek. Lopez had been fingered by the Central Park Five as the most vicious of the attackers but he never admitted to it. Consequently he was never charged with the rape of the jogger but he did plead guilty to the attack upon a male jogger for which he received a four year sentence. The author contends that these facts are strong circumstantial evidence that the Five had actually attacked the jogger . The author substantiates his claim with pictures of Lopez as he looked when he was arrested in 1989 and descriptions of the area where Steve lived and his friendship with Raymond Santana, Jr. who was one of the CP5. Matias Reyes was on the scene not by coincidence as contended by the authorities but as a result of his criminal association with Steve Lopez. The book is divided into two parts the first describing Reyes' reign of terror as the East Side Rapist and includes very graphic descriptions of his attacks on the women he raped and a more graphic description of a murder scene. It also contains Reyes' full confession to the crimes he committed alone and with "Steve". Part two is devoted entirely to an analysis of the Central Park jogger case including evidence presented by the Office of the District Attorney as to the reasons for their decision to exonerate the CP5 and the reasons submitted by law enforcement for insisting they had arrested the right persons. The concluding chapters detail the author's reasons for believing the CP5, Steve Lopez and Matias Reyes had, in truth, attacked the jogger and that their protestations of innocence were false.

This book was first projected in 2004, when Author Hannah Fairbairn was teaching interpersonal skills at the Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, Massachusetts. The experiences of her adult students—and her own experience of sight lost—convinced her that everyone losing vision needs access to good information about the process of adjustment to losing sight and practical ways to use assertive speech. When You Can’t Believe Your Eyes is intended for anyone going through vision loss, their friends, and families. It will inform readers how to get expert professional help, face the trauma of loss, and navigate the world using speech more than sight. Each of the twelve chapters in the book contain many short sections and bullet-point lists, intended to facilitate access to the right information. It begins where you begin—at the doctor’s office or the hospital. Since vision loss takes many forms, there are suggestions for questions you might ask to get a clear diagnosis and the best treatment. Part One also has a description of legal blindness and possible prevention, advice about your job, and tips for life at home. Part Two is about believing in yourself as you deal with the loss, the anger, and the fear before you come up for air and consider training. Parts Three and Four describe using assertive speech and action in all kinds of settings as your independence and confidence increase. Part Five gives detailed information about everything from dating, and caring for babies to senior living, volunteering, and retaining your job. It is hoped that by reading and trying out the suggestions, the reader will recover full confidence, become a positive, assertive communicator, and lead a satisfying life. Because vision loss happens mostly in older years, the book is written with seniors particularly in mind. Professionals will also find it to be a useful resource for their patients.
