Women's History Month Selection Two: In Having New Eyes by Betweenthebliss
Our next selection in honor of Women's History Month is the Star Trek reboot story In Having New Eyes by betweenthebliss, which fleshes out Winona into a three-dimensional woman and Star Fleet officer, so much more than just Jim Kirk's mother and George Kirk's wife. I will put up a separate post for the discussion. As we've mentioned before, please feel free to take your time with the previous story selection. The discussions will be ongoing even if a new story pick is up.
The author doesn't give any warnings but I would mention that canon deaths also occur here and that the events of the 2009 movie are thoroughly spoiled.
The author's summary: Winona always thought she knew the path her life was going to take, but it seems every time she turns around something happens to show her just how wrong she is. This is the love story of Winona and George, but it's also the love story of Winona and Starfleet, and the story of how Winona learned things about herself she never knew she needed to learn. This is the story of a smart and determined girl, the stubborn farmer's son who made her fall for him, the ways they changed each other and the dreams they had of changing the world.
"The true voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new places, but in having new eyes."
