In a world where standing out is celebrated, Sterling has mastered the art of being different. A hardworking blue-collar man by day, Sterling prides himself on always going against the grain—never following the crowd, never doing what’s expected. But what happens when this need to constantly and purposely be different than everyone else becomes more than a quirk? What if it's the root of his self-destruction?

Caught between the everyday grind of his blue-collar life and the allure of aligning with those far removed from his reality, Sterling’s identity becomes a battleground of conflicting ideals. As he thrives on being a contrarian, he fails to realize that his choices are tearing apart his relationships, his career, and perhaps even his own sense of self.

With sharp insights into the psychology of cognitive dissonance and the dangers of living a life driven by false beliefs, The Sterling Contrarian is a timely exploration of how our need to be different can mask the deeper issues we refuse to face. Sterling’s journey will challenge readers to question the price of rebellion when it's not rooted in truth.

From C.M. James, author of gripping and thought-provoking stories, The Sterling Contrarian is not just a powerful narrative but also a clever reflection on human nature, identity, and the unseen forces that shape our choices. Known for crafting compelling tales that blend drama with deeper social and psychological topics, C.M. James invites readers to dive into a journey that will make you question not just Sterling’s motives, but your own.

With masterful storytelling, James reminds us that sometimes, the real battle isn’t with the world around us—it’s with ourselves.
