On this same day， a thousand miles away， a ruthless man learns that he has a mortal enemy named Bartholomew.

As the growing boy copes with his blindness and proves to be a prodigy， his mother， an exceptional woman， counsels him that all things happen for a reason， that there is meaning even in his suffering， and that he will affect the lives of people yet unknown to him in ways startling and profound.At thirteen， Bartholomew regains his sight. How he regains it， why he regains it， and what happens as his amazing life unfolds results in a breathtaking journey of courage， heart-stopping suspense， and high adventure. His mother once told him that every person s life has an effect on every other person s， in often unknowable ways， and Barty s eventful life indeed entwines with others in ways that will astonish and move everyone who reads his story.
