Feirin Canova sees the world in black and white, and paints it that way too-work that is quiet, haunting, and stripped of color. Her life follows the same muted, steady rhythm, until Ms. Capri arrives as the new head of the music department. Bright, warm, and full of life, Ms. Capri stands out against everything Feirin knows. Feirin finds herself drawn to her, especially the way she looks at art. Even Feirin's most colorless pieces, Ms. Capri describes as having layers, depth, and feeling--like there is light hidden in the dark. Slowly, Feirin starts wanting things she always denied herself: color, connection, and the chance to feel something other than the numbness she is used to. But opening up to this new way of seeing means facing the past she has been running from. It also means dealing with the ability she fears most-the power she believes only brings pain and ruin wherever she goes.

She runs her class strictly and holds everyone to high standards, but whenever she looks at Amelia, her expression softens with quiet care. She sees how much Amelia is struggling, and takes extra time to guide her-encouraging her to turn her painful memories into art, hoping it will help her heal. But the closer they get, the more torn Amelia becomes. Her head tells her one thing, but her gut warns of terrible things she has no reason to remember. She can't reason her way out of it, and she's left doubting everything. If her mind is supposed to record everything perfectly... why does it feel like she doesn't belong in her own life? If your mind can lie... what else isn't real? Highest Ranking: #1 carolaird #1 hyperthymesia #1 txs
