Now Dot must learn how to find and create relationships with friends and family guided by her heart rather than her sight. With the help of her boyfriend, best friend, and a wayward priest, Dot discovers the kind of vision needed not only to prevail over this disease -- but to thrive with spirit, humor, and hope.
