A New Kind of Beautiful

By Suzy Zail

Paige Wilding has her future mapped out. Her school's top art prize. Graduation. A coveted spot in an elite art school in New York. But when she's diagnosed with an incurable eye disease, the perfect life she's planned starts to blur.

She makes a choice to keep her condition secret and live louder, love wilder, and paint like her life depends on it. Only her best friend Jazz knows the truth and is helping her cram a lifetime of color into a single year. But as her sight fades and she's forced to give up painting, it's Zac, her rival for the art prize, who helps Paige find a way back to her art and a new kind of beautiful--messy and imperfect but also raw, unfiltered, and fiercely alive.

This is a powerful story about choosing real over perfect.
