YA
Seventeen-year-old Maggie struggles to accept her recent blindness. She meets a precocious ten-year-old boy with spina bifida and is mysteriously able to regain some sight in his presence. This new unorthodox relationship helps her to overcome her negativity and to realize her future has enormous possibility. Told in a sardonic first-person voice, this is a poignant story with some heavy metaphorical themes.
