I find that Angela Hunt's books fall into two categories: first, the typical Christian fiction book with a heavy spiritual message or a well-researched contemporary book with a twist like "The Face". Very engaging, believable, lots of things to think about afterwards... just some of the great things I can say about this story. I hope Hunt writes more along this vein. Angela Hunt it one of my favorite authors. She tackles subjects in a unique way, always from a Christian point of view. It's obvious that she does a tremendous amount of research for her books. This book was a page turner for me. I kept wondering "how" it was going to end -- and, of course, the ending was a complete surprise. I never would have guess. It was very thought-provoking. Here's the gist of the book: "Orphaned and severely deformed, from her earliest moments Sarah Sims has been kept hidden away in a secret CIA facility -- until an exexpected discovery gives her an opportunity to make a life for herself at last. Now Sarah has an ally, a long-lost aunt who has discovered her true identity. Aided by this brave psychologist, twenty-year-old Sarah must find the courage to confront the forces that have confined her for so long. And the strength to be reborn into a world she has never known." nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In an ideal world, appearance wouldn't be such an important factor in how we're treated.
Did Dr. Mewton do Sarah a favor by saving her and having all the procedures done when Sarah was little? Was she right to keep Sarah isolated from the world to try to spare her the "misfit" label? Was she wrong to not insist that Sarah continue to have surgeries or to suggest the face transplant surgery when it became available?
Is Sarah's inability to read faces due to her own disfigurement or to the environment in which she's raised or due to a lack of training from those who should have taught her?
I am glad that Renee pushed to find and see Sarah once she knew about her. I wish she'd known about her when Sarah was younger and that the two could have known each other longer. I think Renee was good for Sarah.
I felt sorry for Judson. I was glad that he and Sarah were friends to each other.
I was surprised by Espinoza's revelation. I was surprised by Renee's decision and what happened to her. ( )
