Winner at the 2013 International Latino Book Awards. Close your eyes
and breathe in. Discover Annie's universe, a world of aromas and
fragrances, where there is no room for the impossible.
When Annie was born, everything was dark. She could feel the warmth of
her mother as she held her in her arms, the smell of her father's newly
washed shirt, and far away, she could hear the twittering of the birds
as they slowly woke up to spring. But apart from that, everything else
was darkness..
Annie spends her days cooking in an old house with her grandma. Although
she can't see, Annie has the gift of being able to feel our very deepest
emotions and to bring them to life with her magical mixtures of cinnamon
and saffron. But one day, she meets a person who awakens a boundless
affection in her, someone who will introduce her senses to a completely
unknown world.
If we set our minds to it, we can all turn what we perceive as
weaknesses into strengths.
