Opis

The second installment of the The Albert Plevier Trilogy, "See Saw" follows the Plevier family as they rejoice at the temporarily returned sight for Albert after a corneal transplant. Albert continues to heal after the devastating accident chronicled in the first installment of the series: "Beyond the Eight Foot World" Albert views for the first time, the extent of the damage done to his body after the blurred images become clear as he stands in front of the bathroom mirror. Every morning as Al gauged the progress of his returned sight, the devastation to his body became clear. The thrill of his returned vision was tempered by the knowledge of what his wife Elaine had been looking at for the last two years. The initial blurred images had elicited a sense of pride in himself and his family at what they had endured and survived. He fully appreciated the moment he saw him body clearly and, realizing the strength, courage, and love of his family, was not bitter about the darkness he would eventually be plunged back into. The Plevier family grows to include four boys and consider themselves a normal American family with a father that lives outside the limits places upon him and his wife. Always working toward any goal, together they settle the legal case, raise their four 'tornado's' that are always stretching their own boundaries and work towards a second attempt for Al to regain vision with a camera implanted in his blinded right eye. The success of the camera surgery begins a new set of adventures. Al is granted the opportunity to see all four of his children for the first time. His amazement and enjoyment of their growth lasts two years until an infection brings him to the brink of death for a second time in his life. The removal of his right eye significantly reduces the opportunity to see again based on the damage initially done to his remaining left eye. The Plevier family story is more than 'just another blind guy story'. The trilogy chronicles the joys, sorrows, comic tragedies of an American Love Story. Albert and Elaine Plevier found each other in High School and never looked back. Faced with odds described as insurmountable by some, the two of them rose to the occasion, lifted up on the shoulders of each other and their faith.
