Faceless

When Maisie Winters wakes up, she’s in the hospital.The
last thing she remembers is running through the hills of her
neighborhood one misty morning. Slowly, she puts the pieces together:
Before she could make it home, a storm gathered. Lightning hit a power
line and sparks rained down, the hot-burning electrical fire consuming
her. Destroying her face. Where her nose, cheeks and chin used to be,
now there is… nothing.Maisie’s lucky enough to qualify for a
rare medical treatment: a face transplant. At least, everyone says she’s
lucky. But with someone else’s features staring back at her in the
mirror, Maisie 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 recognise herself.Acclaimed
author Alyssa Sheinmel has created 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.
