Baby Girl has never doubted that she was special. Even before she was born, she knew it, and her mother did too, which accounts for her unique name. Just how special is she? Well, Baby Girl has the sight --- she can see everyone`s future...except her own.

But she doesn`t need sight to see that her own father wants her dead. He`s jealous of how close she is to her mother; Baby Girl even looks just like her, which is a good thing, since her father looks like a walrus. She just wishes she could tell what he will do to her next. Then one night Baby Girl and her mother sneak out, run off, and the future seems more uncertain than ever. Now, Baby Girl must use her sight to help them survive their new lives.

Settling in a far away town, Baby Girl can`t wait to start school and meet new friends who will love her like everyone at home did. But things are different here: kids tease her about her size and say she doesn`t look at all like her mother. Not only is she totally unpopular, she doesn`t even have one friend. For the first time, Baby Girl begins to doubt herself. Worst of all, she falls in love. Will anyone love her back? Not even she can tell.

SIGHTS is a sad novel about the harsher side of life. Baby Girl shows remarkable strength against the huge odds she faces. Besides dealing with being different, she has to worry about her father, not having enough money, and alienation --- and sometimes her gift feels more like a curse. Everyone can relate to the desire to fit in, although Baby Girl is right: she`s special, and there`s no way she`ll ever be average. What happens to Baby Girl is pandemic. As little kids, everyone knows they`re wonderful, but once they grow up a little, they begin to have self doubt. It`s too bad that people lose that feeling, and it`s tough watching Baby Girl go through it.

The ending of SIGHTS really sneaks up on you. It`s graphic and a little disturbing, but like the rest of the novel, the author doesn`t cut corners when it comes to portraying violence. After reading this novel, you`ll agree that Baby Girl really is something special.
