Beverley Whatman is a blind, innocent and friendless creature. Her mother is always busy but when she's at home it's as though Beverley is non-existent in London. Being a blind teenager never felt more peculiar and-boring. On top of that her brother, Frederick, is more of a secret. There are certain unusual occurrences in the Whatman residence, but it really wasn't until Beverley met Amanda that things utterly changed-life was just not the same anymore...
