Description

A book about a special relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter who tries to see life through his eyes.

When you are very, very young or very, very old, you can see things out of the corner of your eye. In between, all you can see is all you can see. Unless you are very, very lucky. Then the corner of your eye stays awake forever.

Subtle and touching, this is an emotional response to people trying their best to live in an imperfect world.
