Sight Unseen, 1997
Sight Unseen is a fictional story based on the true account of a woman who was blinded when the man she had been dating hired three men to throw lye in her face. He was convicted and served prison time for his crime. She married him when he was released and lives with him today. He was recently acquitted of charges that he had sexually abused and threatened to kill the woman with whom he openly admits having a 5-year affair. His wife testified as a character witness for him, saying that he was ‘a wonderful, caring husband.’ The book is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of the actions of this or the many other women who stay in abusive relationships. Rather it is an examination of the frightening power of human loneliness and need.
