  Summary

  It was the winter of 1926, and Henry Stein had been wondering about his life. What is his purpose? Who would love him? His world was a perpetual dichotomy of black and white, forever a sketch never to be done.

  Then, he saw color for the first time in the form of a beautiful, golden stranger.
