A Schneider Family Book Award Honor Book for Teens "Raw and
unflinching . . . A must-read!" --Marieke Nijkamp, #1 New York
Times-bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends "[It] cuts to the
heart of our bogus ideas of beauty." -Scott Westerfeld, #1 New York
Times-bestselling author of Uglies I am ugly. There's a
mathematical equation to prove it. At only eight months old,
identical twin sisters Ariel and Zan were diagnosed with Crouzon
syndrome -- a rare condition where the bones in the head fuse
prematurely. They were the first twins known to survive it. Growing
up, Ariel and her sister endured numerous appearance-altering
procedures. Surgeons would break the bones in their heads and faces
to make room for their growing organs. While the physical aspect of
their condition was painful, it was nothing compared to the
emotional toll of navigating life with a facial disfigurement.
Ariel explores beauty and identity in her young-adult memoir about
resilience, sisterhood, and the strength it takes to put your life,
and yourself, back together time and time again.
