    About this ebook

    Step into the mind through others’ eyes, and feel what they feel for a moment.
    Step in the shoes of a lonely person, isolated from everyone and read their thoughts.
    Imagine if you could see through the eyes of another, but the person was never able to tell you how they feel?
    Embrace love, happiness and sadness all at once, and come out the end with a fresh perspective on life!
