Demi-orphaned Sara, abandoned en route to Paris by her father and new stepmother, finds herself standing on the doorstep of her grandfather’s villa in the hills above Nice. Opening the door, she finds herself in the midst of a new world, full of color and mystery. Why can’t Grandpère know of her friendship with blind Jacques and his seeing-eye dog Ben? What do Ludmilla’s mysterious tarot cards portend? Sara’s new friends hint at an important task that only she can do. Meanwhile, Grandfather Matisse is teaching her about color. She begins to see the world with fresh eyes. Sara’s life changes by the moment as she discovers new qualities and skills within herself. Soon, she will be tested. A lonely journey will take her deep beneath the ground to come face to face with the mystery of the Black Madonna.
