Mai Adeline
Sundance Mai was used to the stares. Between her height of five feet eleven inches by the time she was thirteen years old, and hair that rare color of copper that blinded people if she stood in full sun, she was striking.

Her eyes, more than her height or hair color, were the biggest cause of gawping! Mai had been born with a genetic disorder called coloboma of the iris. Part of the colored tissue that made up her iris was missing, so her pupi...

I wonder if I am supposed to sleep in the middle of it? Aunt Laurie didn't say anything about that. Yesterday Amy's Mom was in an accident on her way home from work. Amy's Dad is a deployed some place where it's always hot. And today, and until her Mom is out of the hospital, Amy is at Aunt Laurie's house. Amy stared out the bedroom window.
