MAKING FACES
Publication date ebook: October 20, 2013 Publication date paperback: February 21, 2017 via Spencer Hill Press Genre: Teen and Young Adult Romance, Inspirational, Coming of Age Recommended for ages: +14 Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have . . . until he wasn't beautiful anymore. Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us. |
"Everyone should read this book. This is the kind of unforgettable story that sinks into your heart and doesn't let go. I can't recommend it highly enough."

"Absolutely spellbinding, heartbreaking, emotional and powerful. Mere words don't do justice to the experience I was afforded in Making Faces."

"Making Faces reminds us of morals that are all too often forgotten or lost in modern life. The underlying story of heroism and courage had me rooting for the unconventional hero and inevitably crushed me. Beauty may be skin deep, but this story is deep on such a level that it will stay with you for a long, long time."
