THE kindness of strangers.
A blind author was rescued by a
team of good Samaritan forensic
police officers, after she
discovered that the first 26 pages
of her manuscript were blank.
The woman, Trish Vickers, lost
her sight seven years ago due to
diabetes, and had begun writing
the book to keep her mind active.
Unfortunately Trish was
unaware that the ink in her pen
had run out, and when she
showed her son her draft, he had
to tell her that there was no
writing.
Rather than panic, the pair put
their heads together and decided
to take the manuscript to the
police station to see if the officers
could do anything to help.
The station’s forensic team
agreed to help, and in their free
time, spent the next five months
carefully analysing the
indentations on the pages using a
system of lights.
In that time, the forensic team
managed to decode the text and
hand a full copy back to Vickers,
saying that they couldn’t wait to
read the finished book when it
was completed.
The working title for the novel is
Grannifer’s Legacy.
