Her New Eyes

From T.J. Martinson, author of The Reign of the Kingfisher, comes a poignant odyssey of aging, stardom, and memory explored through the literal eyes of Marilyn Monroe.
Susan Jackson’s serene life as a sixty-eight-year-old florist living in Indiana shatters following a groundbreaking eye transplant that comes with an unexpected side-effect—visions of the life of Marilyn Monroe. Initially a harmless oddity, the invasive visions swiftly escalate as she starts morphing into the iconic actress. As Susan’s transformation becomes undeniable, a battle of wills ensues between the long-dead Hollywood icon and the woman whose body she’s seized.
Her New Eyes is an evocative literary novel, playing out against the bittersweet stage of eternal Americana-icon worship. With a dreamy atmosphere and unforgettable characters, Martinson crafts a story that will provoke introspection while entertaining.
