What started out as an intrinsic love for storytelling has turned into her lifelong passion. There’s nothing she likes better than writing (and reading) stories that are both heartrending and humorous, with a touch of cute romance and a poignant streak of truth running through them. Abbie is also a YouTuber, singer/songwriter, blogger, traveler, filmmaker, big dreamer, and professional waffle-eater. When she’s not writing or dreaming up new stories, you can find her road-tripping to national parks or binge-watching BBC Masterpiece dramas in her cozy Vermont home with a cup of tea and her fluffy white lap dog, Pearl. If you want to see Abbie in her element (ranting about stories) check out her YouTube channel.
When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down. Struggling to find hope, she’s resistant when her grandparents hire a typist to help her keep writing. Then Weston Ludovico shows up—a boy her age with a bright smile, an easy laugh...and a secret of his own. Weston has no legs, but he insists no one tell Tessa. For once, he wants to be seen for who he is, not what he’s lost. At first, Tessa meets Weston’s kindness with anger, but he refuses to give up on her. With every visit, Weston reaches into her darkness, showing her that losing her sight doesn’t mean losing everything. As they grow closer, Tessa discovers new ways to experience life—and new reasons to hope. But as the day her sight returns draws near, Weston faces a choice: disappear before Tessa sees the truth, or take a leap of faith and believe she’ll love him just the same.
