In this gripping and provocative eBook original novel celebrated bestselling author Walter Mosley explores the mind of an African-American man who is forced to re-examine his most closely held beliefs about race and about himself.
/>
Sovereign James wakes up one morning to discover that he's gone blind.
Sovereign's doctors can't find anything wrong with him, nor does he remember any physical or psychological trauma. Unless his sight returns, Sovereign has reached the end of his 25-year career in human resources. A couple of weeks later he is violently mugged on the street. His sight briefly, miraculously returns during the attack: for a few seconds, he can see as well as hear a young female bystander's cries of distress. Now he must grapple with two questions: What caused him to lose his vision--and, perhaps more troubling, why does violence restore it? As Sovereign searches for the woman he glimpsed, he will come to question everything he valued about his former life.

Unlike any other story by this author

In my humble opinion, writers who can successfully depart from their primary genre and deliver engaging stories at or above the same level is the mark of a great author. Walter Mosley achieves this with a tale of a 50 year old, black HR manager who loses his sight due to an unknown trauma. During therapy sessions we learn of his family, disconnection with emotions and more. Falling prey to an unexpected robbery attack, he encounters a young girl poses a double sided situation that ultimately favors a shift. Mosley has tremendous talent for storytelling and having read many of his books, this one stands out. Engaging, evocative and unusual its recommended for those who appreciate character arc, a dab of mystery, touch of crime and the unexpected. ( )
