There’s none so blind as they that won’t see.

Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni’s body floated to the surface of Alaska’s Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can’t remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But this time it’s her memory that needs piecing together—to clear her name . . . to find a murderer.

This unflinchingly emotional novel is written in the powerful first-person voice of a legally blind teen who just wants to be like everyone else
"This is really intriguing because it isnt just a normal style of someone trying to clear her name or what happened to this girl?  Because it involves someone who is blind.  I love the fact it is first person perspective from Roz's perspective rather than third person.  It would add so much more to the story and make it more personal since it is her name that needs to be cleared and she is blind.  It must be a really scary place for Roz to clear her name in a world where she cannot see what is happening.  I really want to know what happened to poor Tricia and what they were fighting about.  I know it says it is an emotional novel but i really believe it will be and that i will be gripped. Not long till the 23rd!"
