This is Marisa Littrell’s true story, told by her mother Helen. Marisa was blind, and in order to help with her college expenses, she shared her apartment with the mysterious Raechel. Marisa became concerned when it appeared that Raechel had no past. Little things Raechel said and did aroused frightening suspicions in Marisa, which led to conclusions so incredible that she could not tell anyone, for fear of being thought crazy. Marisa had to confront her fears and face the consequences alone. In doing so she was exposed to an alien world existing behind the looking glass—an alternate reality just beyond everyday consciousness, a world existing and waiting, for anyone who dares to look into that mirror and accept what is there. It is often said that we have eyes and do not see. Marisa was blind, but she saw with her heart. Her roommate Raechel could see, but her eyes held secrets. This fantastic story, even its startling conclusion, reads like science fiction, but it’s true. It answers the two important questions of why aliens have not landed on the White House lawn and why they haven’t taken over the Earth. Marisa’s story invites the reader to expand his vision, to see the individual, the soul, the world, and ultimately the universe through the eyes of a blind girl, her mother, and most importantly, through Raechel’s eyes.
