Trespassing in Mr Lovett's secluded garden was a welcome escape for 16-year-old Catherine. It was a haven away from the parents who didn't understand her moodiness, as well as from her pretty, even-tempered sister, Diana, who she resented. It was a place to be alone. But this all changed when Catherine is confronted by Mr Lovett and, realising he is blind, decides to confide in him. And so begins a remarkable friendship.
