Ambrose Young was beautiful. 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.
