The heroine of the novel by the well-known English writer Linda Gillard Marianна can hardly be called happy. Real life seems to be behind her. Marianna lost a child, her beloved husband died, and what’s more—she is blind. It would seem that there’s nothing left but despair. However, her unsurpassed courage and strong character help her not to lose faith in herself. Fate brings her an encounter with an unusual person, and overcoming many doubts, she decides to start all over again.
