What happens

Annie Crane, a talented young blind artist, has never known her birth mother. With Caroline's help, the two are brought together.

The reunion is emotional for everyone, and Annie honors her mother with a painting from the heart. A beautiful, quiet episode. Through Annie, the episode shows how much the school for the blind has come to mean to its students and to Walnut Grove.
