Alfie Mack has been in the hospital for months recovering from an accident. Seeing a new face is the most exciting thing that can happen to him right now, so when someone moves into the next bed, he's eager to make new friends. But he soon realizes that it won't be so easy to see his roommate's face...Alice Gunnersley has suffered serious burns and she still can't look at herself in the mirror...let alone let anyone see her. She keeps the curtain around her bed tightly closed, but that doesn't stop Alfie from trying to get to know her. He, charming, talkative and outgoing; she, reserved, efficient and a workaholic: they couldn't be more different. But little by little, Alfie manages to get Alice to shed her armor. The connection between them grows day after day, but is it possible to fall in love with someone you've never seen?
