A book which uses an analogous non-human scenario to explore attitudes and differences. Kara believes she has been born into the wrong body. She is a Red but believes and feels she is a Green. Kara is very unhappy and hates the life she is forced to live as a Red. To resolve the issue, she must make the perilous journey to the Beatrix Gates and pass through. Beautifully and sympathetically written. Not an easy read but very enlightening.
