In this historical novel, follow the adventures of Oliver and Tabitha Reed, blind children who are growing up in the small community of Landis Mills, a mill town in the brand-new United States of America. Since they are without sight, they must find their best paths in life. Fortunately their parents want a better life for them then as beggars and so they are sent to one of the very first schools for the Blind in their area. Tabitha Reed finds happiness and friendship in this school but Oliver wants something other - he is fascinated by clocks and dreams of following in his father's footsteps as a cabinetmaker. Is it possible for a blind boy to learn the trade of his father and perhaps one day even learn to build his own clock? As for his sister, can she learn to spin like the other girls and find happiness and fulfillment in their world? This is a large print book, illustrations throughout.
