Nine-year-old Annie Sullivan finds herself in a forgotten almshouse in Massachussets. She has no one in the world: her mother died, her father left, and her beloved brother just died in her arms. How could she gather the strength to keep living? With both her eyes infected by the devastating Trachoma disease, she had not seen in years. When she hears of a special school for the blind, she is determined to get there, even if it would mean the abuse of Mr. Marsh, the manager of the almshouse.
