As fourteen-year-old Natalie's sight fails, her parents send her to a school for blind children, where she acquires the skills to cope with her disability. Cummings realistically portrays Natalie's emotional states (from denial to determination) and the day-to-day challenges of a newly blind person, from crossing the street to learning to use adaptive computer technology.
