About This Book
Losing his eyesight to a progressive retinal disorder, Tony Poletti continues to work in the construction business as a laborer to pay his way through college. He meets Janet Gallagher, a young engineer who is the daughter of his employer, but dares not get involved with her because of low self-esteem over his pending blindness and because he is the main suspect in his late wife's murder.
The plot becomes more involved when Jack Gallagher discovers a larger than usual amount of building material missing. At almost the same time, a near brush with death draws Tony and Janet closer together. Out of admiration for what Tony did to save his daughter's life and owing to Tony's unquestionable honesty, Jack and Janet enlist Tony's help. What he discovers turns out to be bad news for her but good news for Tony.
This is an emotionally charged novel in which people find the love they had been searching for. Containing adventure, mystery and romance, it was written by a man from a man's point of view, and contains some hard language and descriptions of sex.
