In this (and following books), our heroine Sanna is grappling with adapting to losing her vision.
While I worked very closely with several of my readers that have had (and subsequently lost all or almost all of their sight), every witch has their own story. Sanna’s experience and emotions are her own. Not every blind person will have a similar experience—which is the beauty of story!
My sensitivity readers and I decided together on phrases, terms, and struggles that Sanna would face in this new life of hers.
To that end, I want to dedicate this book to Jayde Abbott and Daniel Bair, who have opened my eyes to this new world they live in.
(That pun is for you, Jayde! ;)
All the research, books I read, people I spoke with, culminated in meeting the two of them and getting to know them over the last year. In Jayde I met a real-life Sanna, and knowing both of you is one of my greatest honors.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you both for all your time, dedication, openness, education, and perseverance with me.
