The Color of Distance
kadiraa9 avatar reviewed on + 25 more book reviews


The story of a woman trapped on a completely alien world, going unwillingly through changes that will save her life but make her something other than human. Can she survive the culture shock that assails her as she lives on the fringe of Tendu society? Can she learn to accept herself, her alien hosts, and her new life? What will happen when her employers return to the planet and expect her to be human again?

This book is a colorful and thought-provoking story of "going native" and the beliefs, preconceptions, and moral views that are sacrificed along the way.
