Lee is the first girl Jeff has ever been able to talk to. Pretty, funny, and smart, Lee puts Jeff at ease. But Lee is blind. Jeff worries about what his friends will think if he dates her.
"What's it like to be blind?" Jeff wonders. After spending an amazing day in Lee's world of darkness, he find that he feels closer to her than he had ever thought possible.
This story came from an episode of ABC Afterschool Specials from 1976.
The story alternates between Lee and Jeff's point of view. This is a very sweet romance which is in its early stages. I loved this book. The story is excellent.
"I am not a little girl," I protested. "I'm almost sixteen, and Mother never cares what time I get home."
"I can't help what your mother does," Daddy said. "When you live with me, you follow my rules."
Jill's parents live apart, and Jill spends time with both of them, a month here, a month there. Downtown she's her mother's equal—with adult responsibilities. Uptown she's Daddy's little girl. Downtown there's Jason, uptown there's Paul. Jill thinks she can handle anything—until her two worlds look like they're headed for a collision!
The book is just okay at first. I was fine reading it during the early part, but it was nothing special. During the second half of the book, the story is very good. The plot is resolved a bit fast in just the last few pages of the book.
