{"product_id":"sade-in-color-howard-9798240917301","title":"Sade in Color","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne day in January, Sade Carter stands in front of a closet full of black, gray, and navy and realizes she can't remember the last time she chose something just because it was beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix months out from a divorce that wasn't dramatic enough to grieve and not painless enough to forget, Sade is functional. She is fine. She is so fine she could scream. Then, on a whim she can't fully explain, she opens the notes app on her phone and types five words that will change her year: What if I lived in color?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne color per month. January is yellow: a scarf, a ceramic mug, tulips on the kitchen table. February is red: a vintage wool coat found at a thrift store that leads her to Tate \u0026amp; Thread, a small tailor shop run by seventy-four-year-old Odette and her grandson Martin. Odette is sharp-tongued, warm-hearted, and carries a grief she's been wearing for a decade in the form of an unfinished dress. Martin is quiet, meticulous, and the kind of man who asks not how you want a coat altered but how you want it to feel. A question no one has asked Sade about anything in years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the months unfold; orange, green, blue, purple, pink, Sade's experiment becomes something deeper than aesthetics. It becomes a practice of visibility in a world that preferred her dim. Her seven-year-old daughter, Ashley, is her fiercest champion. Her ex-husband sees a woman he no longer recognizes. Her workplace wants her to be smaller. And the voice inside her own head keeps whispering the word she fears most: selfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the color year nearly collapses under the weight of doubt, a child's drawing, an old woman's wisdom, and a quiet man's steady belief become the things that call her back. But coming back isn't the same as never leaving. Sade must learn that transformation isn't a straight line. It's a spiral, and every return is a little closer to the center of who she actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSade in Color is a story about a woman who stopped disappearing. About a grandmother who finished what grief made her set down. About a man who dressed everyone around him beautifully and forgot to make room for beauty in his own life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd about the radical, terrifying, ordinary act of choosing joy in a world that never told you it was yours to choose.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798240917301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Swan Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.86d","brand":"Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997769642239,"sku":"9798240917301","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sade-in-color-howard-9798240917301","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
