Beverly Butler

    Beverly Olsen s'est transformée d'une artiste en herbe en écrivaine lorsqu'une cécité imminente a changé sa voie. Elle a exploité sa vue restante et son imagination remarquable pour créer des histoires vives qui continuent de résonner auprès de ses lecteurs fidèles aujourd'hui. Son travail puisait souvent dans son expérience personnelle, notamment son propre parcours avec la cécité qui a inspiré certains de ses romans les plus poignants. Éducatrice en écriture créative, les récits d'Olsen témoignent du pouvoir de l'imagination face à l'adversité.

      Cathy was only 14 when her world suddenly went dark. An operation that was supposed to help her vision left her totally blind instead-and totally unprepared for all the questions that she now faced. Should she go to a special school for the blind? Would she ever make friends again? Should she get a Seeing Eye dog? And what should she do about Steve, the friendly voice who is offering Cathy her first real chance at romance? Can she trust his motives or is he, like so many other people, just feeling sorry for a blind girl? Cathy has so many questions to sort out, and some major adjustments to make. But she is not a quitter. With lots of courage and strength, she'll find a way to win this battle-and a way to get on with a happy, complete life.
