After an accident leaves her blind, fifteen year old Emma struggles to reclaim her life. Meanwhile, a classmate's body has been found, with all signs pointing to suicide. Determined to understand the girl's actions, and to avoid being perceived as a Poor Blind Kid, Emma sets out to unite her classmates to explore the situation. Along the way, Emma learns to navigate an adolescence made more difficult by her new handicap, but emerges strong. Powerful and moving, this is a beautifully written story of one girl's search for her place in life.

Rachel DeWoskin spent her twenties in China as the unlikely star of a nighttime soap opera that inspired her memoir Foreign Babes in Beijing. She has written two novels, Repeat After Me, and Big Girl Small, the coming of age story of a sixteen-year-old with dwarfism. Big Girl Small received the American Library Association's Alex Award, and Rachel's conversations with young readers inspired her to write her first YA novel, Blind. Rachel lives in Chicago and Beijing with her husband, playwright Zayd Dohrn, and their two little girls.
