He lives with his mother and sister in poverty, struggling to make ends meet. However, their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy nobleman, Lord St. Clair, takes an interest in Wilford and offers to take him under his wing.As Wilford begins to adjust to his new life, he finds himself caught in the middle of a power struggle between Lord St. Clair and his scheming nephew, Sir William. Sir William is determined to inherit his uncle’s fortune and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, even if it means hurting Wilford and his family in the process.The Blind Boy is a classic melodrama, full of twists and turns, romance, and heartbreak. It explores themes of social class, greed, and the power of love and family.
