I See Without Eyes

Rafa Jaime lost his eyes to cancer when he was young. As his vision died, his determination to conquer impossible feats came alive. Omar Alvarez found himself trapped in a corporate prison until his dying father’s last wish, to be laid to rest atop the highest mountain in Mexico, set him free. By chance, Rafa and Omar met on a mountaintop and began a symbiotic partnership to climb the highest mountain on each continent, the fabled Seven Summits. But when the treacherous Himalayas deny Rafa one summit and inflict Omar with a deadly illness, the two mountaineers must decide whether their ambitions are worth paying the ultimate price. There is a saying in mountaineering, “The mountain decides when you climb and when you summit.” But the blind Rafa sees it a different way: “The mountain feels those who take hold of their dreams, and will open the way.”
