Nebula Award-winning author Vylar Kaftan weaves a dark tale of loss, regret, love, and revenge in the novella, Her Silhouette, Drawn in Water. "Tense and gripping."—Ann Leckie "A moving tribute to the power within us all."—Nancy Kress All Bee has ever known is darkness. She doesn’t remember the crime she committed that landed her in the cold, twisting caverns of the prison planet Colel-Cab with only fellow prisoner Chela for company. Chela says that they’re telepaths and mass-murderers; that they belong here, too dangerous to ever be free. Bee has no reason to doubt her—until she hears the voice of another telepath, one who has answers, and can open her eyes to an entirely different truth.

This was probably not my kind of book. I can't be sure I understood everything except that one has to love and forgive oneself before trying to overcome life's other obstacles.
A touching novella about self-healing and the unbounded capacity of our will and mind.
Using imprisoned telepaths to discuss societal prejudices, trauma, and mental illness, Kaftan tells a quick and tense journey of acceptance, propelled by a sapphic love story.
Perhaps a bit too quick and with everything too established; leaving no room for development outside the one the main character has with herself.
I didn't feel wowed, but I'm sure others on their own self-discovery will empathize.
