Colors Insulting to Nature

COLORS INSULTING

TO NATURE

A Novel CINTRA WILSON

For Kent, who is like Abe Lincoln.

And for all the child-stars in my family:

Meghan, Grant, and Adam Dickerson, Abigail and

Roscoe Bernard, and Ava and Una Ankrum.

Especially Adam, a great actor and a righteous American.

Just don’t read this until you’re 17, unless accompanied by an adult.
