John Moon, who is deaf and blind, lives alone and works in a furniture workshop. Leda, an actress, meets him at a community centre and introduces him to a new world, but her friends recoil from his disabilities. When Leda suddenly rejects him, John becomes painfully reconciled to his limitations. Joanne Greenberg is the author of several books including "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden", "Founder's Praise", "Simple Gifts" and "Age of Consent".
