Grayscale

Misti Elizabeth Oakley is blind; she can not see the world that encircles her, and this sightless life is all that she has ever known. After three long, agonizing years of high-school, she enters her senior year after a summer of blissful isolation from the degrading peers that she spends school with. . .only to discover that she has much more in store than another two laborious semesters of misery and a nonexistent self-esteem.

This school year will take her on a journey of difficult decisions, a love that she had never previously experienced, and open an invisible door that will guide her down the avenue of self-awareness and wonderment.

. . . For once, her world may not be entirely black—but, maybe, the darkness will finally crack and allow a streamline of colors to seep into her perpetually monochrome perspective. Perhaps, she may realize that the universe does not only consist of the duller hues of a grayscale.
