Truesight (Truesight Trilogy #1)

Truesight by David Stahler Jr. is an interesting look at humanity.

Jacob lives in Harmony Station on the planet of Nova Campi. Harmony is a colony of the Truesight. The Truesight movement began at the end of the 21st century. Genetic alteration was common, but when a blind couple in Canada decided to ensure their offspring would also be born blind, the Seers in the world thought they were crazy. Now, almost a century later, there are Truesight colonies on many worlds.

Jacob is not the average kid. Like everyone who lives in Harmony, Jacob is blind. But just before his thirteenth birthday he starts to have headaches. At first he doesn't know what they might mean. Then he starts noticing a difference between the light and dark.

Jacob is learning to see. His brain is overriding the genetic marker for blindness. How will his community react to a Seer among them?
