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.

Needs more Bailey!!!

There were parts that really...

10++ Stars. My new Top Favorite. It was just P.E.R.F.E.C.T !!! ♥♥♥ "If God made all our faces, did he laugh when he made me? Does he make the legs that cannot walk and eyes that cannot see? Does he curl the hair upon my head 'til it rebels in wild defiance? Does he close the ears of a deaf man to m...
After seeing all these positive reviews for this book I finally decided to read it. I've been on this kick of reading stuff with wounded Heroes (If I Lie, Something Like Normal, Fighting Redemption) so yes, this fit right in. I think it's labeled New Young Adult, but it didn't read like other NYA b...
