Faceless is an emotionally gripping novel about a girl who gets a face
transplant -- and has to rediscover her identity.
While on a run one day, Maise gets into a terrible accident. A
hot-burning electrical fire consumes her, destroying her face. Where her
nose, cheeks, and chin used to be, now there is . . . nothing.
She is lucky enough to qualify for a face transplant. But with someone
else's features staring back at her in the mirror, Maise looks -- and
feels -- like a stranger. The doctors promised that the transplant was
her chance to live a normal life again, but nothing feels normal
anymore. Before, she knew who she was -- a regular girl who ran track
and got good grades, who loved her boyfriend and her best friend. Now,
she can't even recognize herself.
From Alyssa Sheinmel, the acclaimed author of Second Star, comes a
gripping and gorgeously written tale of identity and love. This is a
story of losing yourself, and the long, hard fight to find your way
back.
