[nabs-l] Blind Characters

[Jessica Hodges]

I know I am forgetting something so I will probably post a lot here. One book I immedietly think of is all the light we cannot see. I don't know who the author is. Also, thank you for mentioning zeroes. One reason I am only reason I am only now posting this is that I am already on chapter 12. 
Also, have you thought about looking in the disability segment in Baard? They usually put things with blind characters in there. 
Hope this is helpful. 
Jessica.
