Carley Mattea never expected to become friends with a boy as handsome as
Kyle Westin - especially not in the hospital.
Seventeen-year-old Kyle was blinded when a chemistry experiment
exploded. His doctors don't know whether he'll get his vision back, and
he's deeply depressed. Carley understands how miserable it is to be in
the hospital. At sixteen, she's had plenty of experience. But Carley is
keeping a secret from Kyle. She knows boys like girls who are pretty -
and she's not. Scarred by a facial deformity, she has always used her
sense of humor to cope. But now that she's become so close to Kyle,
she's worried that if his bandages are removed and he sees her, it will
be the end of their relationship. Carley wants what's best for Kyle. But
what will that mean for her?
