Young Jacob Manford grew up in Harmony, a blind boy raised in a colony
of citizens dedicated to blindness as a way of life. Stricken with sight
at 13, he escapes to the futuristic city of Melville, only to discover
he has traded one hostile community for another.
Jacob's sight introduces him to a thrilling new world--vast landscapes,
glittering skyscrapers, and flying machines--but he is unsure if he has
finally found a place to belong. Will Jacob ever find what he is looking
for?
