| "Blindness
is purity. Blindness is unity. Blindness is freedom."
All his life, Jacob had been taught to believe this. And the community
of Harmony was founded on these basic principles. As Jacob gives
his school report, we learn that "the Foundation was created in 2102 by
Francis and Jean Aldrick from the city of Toronto in a nation knows as
Canada. ... Both Francis and Jean had been born blind. They
wanted their children to be a part of their way of life, so they decided
that their children would share this trait, creating the first generation
of children intentionally born with what some considered a disability.
The publicity generated by the event persuaded several other couples in
Canada and the United States to do the same." From those beginnings,
a new society was formed. And now, the isolated colony of Harmony
lives by the laws of the community. Or do they? When something
amazing happens to Jacob, he begins to "see" his utopia in a brand new
light. |
