Her life will never be the same. People at school say Tracy is acting weird. And they're right. Because she has a secret. She thinks she is going blind. Withdrawing from everyone, Tracy spends more and more time training her dog, Sasha, for the dog show. But she can't keep her secret forever. Finally she must face the truth: She has retinitis pigmentosa. She really is going blind. Now the kids at school are saying all kinds of things. Some of her friends drop her. Be brave? How can she be brave when suddenly she feels so all alone?
