Blind Spot - Christine M Quirk

An emotional rollercoaster of a coming-of-age novel; for fans of A Year to the Day, Take Me With You When You Go, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. When seventeen-year-old Scott accidentally blows up a flask in chemistry class, leaving his twin sister Stacy without her sight, his life changes beyond recognition and the confident sister he relies upon is gone. Together, they had planned to follow in their brother's footsteps - graduate high school, earn college scholarships, and escape their father's cruelty and their mother's silent acceptance. Torn between survivor's guilt and his own self-preservation, Scott considers putting his college escape plan on hold now that Stacy can't join him, but the escalating violence in their home makes that impossible. While Scott tries to decide whether to pursue his goals and stand on his own, he discovers that losing her sight is not the worst that could happen to his beloved twin.
