From the cover:
Mandy survives the terrible accident that killed her
mother, but she was left blind and alone. Now she lives with relatives she
doesn't know, attends a new school, and tries to make friends--all the while
struggling to function without sight.
Her unpredictable life takes its strangest turn when she
realizes that thought she can't see, she hears more than other people
do. But what Mandy hears through the dark window of her attic room isn't
normal. In fact, what she hears--and seems to "see"--are things
that happened years ago, before she was even born . . .
From reviews:
"A sensitive and well-told story, inhabited by
appealing and believable characters."--KIRKUS REVIEWS
"[Teens] will enjoy this well-written, realistic
story."--VOYA
"A strong and satisfying work."--BOOKLIST
