Color Blind

Charles A. Stearns

In a future world where physical beauty has been reduced to a precise science, Sukey Jones has drawn the short straw. Born into a society that measures human worth in exact measurements of appearance, she lives in the shadow of those who were blessed with genetic perfection. Every interaction reminds her that she falls short of the ideal. When a revolutionary procedure promises to remake her in society's perfect image, Sukey faces an impossible choice: become someone new and win the acceptance she's always craved, or remain herself in a world that has never seen her worth. What follows is a sharp, unsettling examination of what we sacrifice to belong, and whether the person we become is still the person we started as. Stearns writes with uncomfortable clarity about the cruelty of beauty hierarchies and the desperate mathematics of self-worth in a world that teaches us we are never enough.
