I wanted to remind him, but you were the one who desired this, remember, while he kept staring at my cheek. You are the one who inquired—I say this again—why don't you correct your face?
It's difficult to miss Terra Cooper.
She has an amazing figure, is blonde, and is tall. But all that's seen when she turns her cheek is her distinctly "flawed" face. Terra has a covert plan to flee her oppressive tiny town in the Northwest and attend an East Coast college, but her father's manipulation throws her off track. Terra's ideas about herself and her life are instantly called into question by the attractive but eccentric Goth lad, Jacob, after an unplanned accident puts her in his path. This forces Terra to take yet another turn. Will Terra be able to discover her real path now that her well-laid plans have been upended?
Award-winning author Justina Chen Headley has put together a compelling book about a broken family, falling in love, traveling, and what genuine beauty means, all via vibrant, artistic writing.
