A powerful story about blindness from an award-winning author.
When Emma Sasha Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmare accident, she must relearn everything from walking across the street to recognizing her own sisters to imagining colors. One of seven children, Emma used to be the invisible kid, but now it seems everyone is watching her. And just as sheâs about to start high school and try to recover her friendships and former life, one of her classmates is found dead in an apparent suicide. Fifteen and blind, Emma has to untangle what happened and whyâin order to see for herself what makes life worth living.
Unflinching in its portrayal of Emmaâs darkest days, yet full of hope and humor, Rachel DeWoskinâs brilliant Blind is one of those rare books that utterly absorbs the reader into the life and experience of another.
