    “ Can the magic be found by these two? A lesson in getting past doubts and appreciating the gifts in life when we have them. ”

    “ Oh my word this fantasy is so beautiful in every way, I only wish it could become reality as it is such a sweet notion. Lindsay has written a gem here, the relationship between her two characters is palpable and heart warming. In my close family we have a blind person, so this piece really touched my heart. I loved this! ”

    “ Heartfelt, beautiful fantasy. The story begins as a mystery, but we slowly come to understand the nature of Amanda's spirit. We then come to understand the connections between her and Ryan. And we intuit what may happen, and it's beautiful when it does. Such a satisfying play. ”
