The Story of My Face - Hardcover

Thirteen–year–old Natalie Baron is adrift in the world and looking for something or someone to latch on to; when she meets Barbara Hern and her family, followers of an extreme Protestant sect founded by Tuomas Envall, Natalie slowly insinuates herself into their lives. But when she inadvertently creates a rift in the group, events begin to take a terrible turn. Three decades later, living in Finland in a tiny wooden house surrounded by melting ice, Natalie researches the life of Tuomas Envall in an attempt to understand the devastating events that changed not only her face but also the course of her life. By turns a heart–rending story of human need, passionate belief, and the loss of innocence, The Story of My Face is a also a skillfully crafted psychological thriller.
