Description:
When Maisie gets into a terrible accident, her face is partially
destroyed. She's lucky enough to get a face transplant--but how do you live
your life when you can't even recognize yourself anymore?
She was a runner, a girlfriend, a good student...a normal girl.
Now all that has changed. As Maisie discovers how much her looks did--and
didn't--shape her relationship to the world, she has to redefine her own
identity, and figure out what "lucky" really means.
From Alyssa Sheinmel, the acclaimed author of Second Star, this
is a lyrical and gripping novel that will challenge readers to think about how
we create and define ourselves.
I was born in Stanford, California, and even though I moved
across the country to New York when I was six years old, I still think of
myself as a California girl.
Like so many writers, I grew up loving books. I loved stories so
much that when there was nothing to read, I wrote my own stories just to give
myself something to read. And when there was no pen and paper to be had, I made
up stories and acted them out by myself. I played all the parts, and I was
never bored.
