    Light a Single Candle
    • 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.
