I am currently working on a novel about a 10-year-old blind boy named Tim, who is transferred from public school and sent to a residential school for the blind in Vancouver, Washington.
The story of life in a blind school has seldom been told but there is a difference--. Tim was one of twins. His sister’s heart had been damaged since birth through the same trauma which took Tim’s sight. Tami dies the year before Tim goes to the State School but Tami’s spirit remains and a spiritually-gifted house parent at The School can perceive her though she appears to speak out of Tim’s mouth.
A silver six-pence, a jar of salve and the door to a strange room at the back of the school library, which nobody but Tim can find, are all clues to the strange connections between this world and the next.
