Unwanted

Existing in a World That Erased You.

By 2075, society is stable, prosperous, and quietly ruthless. The global project of removing those labeled unwanted is considered finished, folded into law, bureaucracy, and polite silence. The world believes the problem is solved.

Sally Caulfield is transgender, and she should not exist according to that certainty. Raised off the grid by parents who understood exactly how dangerous visibility had become, she grew up grounded in herself rather than shaped by fear. When Sally chooses to enter public life, her goal is not rebellion or martyrdom. She wants an education, relationships, and a future that does not require hiding forever.

What follows is not a chase, but an exposure. Systems notice her not with hatred, but with procedure. As Sally navigates a world built to erase her, she is forced to reckon with survival, resistance, and the cost of simply being seen.

Unwanted is a restrained, haunting novel about identity, endurance, and the quiet defiance of continuing to live when history insists you are already gone.
