Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Amy Harmon
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.
"Occasionally you read a book that hits you like a freight train. That's exactly what this book did to me. It's the most powerful book I've ever read--and believe me, I've read a LOT of books." —Holly Kelly, author of Rising

Amy Harmon is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of ten novels. Her books are now being published in 13 languages around the globe. She knew at an early age that writing was something she wanted to do, and divided her time between writing songs and stories as she grew. Having grown up in the middle of wheat fields without a television, with only her books and her siblings to entertain her, she developed a strong sense of what made a good story.
