In ihrer kleinen Heimatstadt ist Terra Cooper nur das Mädchen mit dem Feuermal im Gesicht. Das Leben zu Hause mit einer essgestörten Mutter und dem immer vorwurfsvollen Vater ist auch nicht gerade toll. Als Terra Jacob trifft, den hübschen chinesischen Goth-Jungen, der als Baby adoptiert wurde, verstehen sie sich sofort. Dann lädt Terras großer Bruder sie und ihre Mutter nach Shanghai ein, Jacob und seine Mutter begleiten sie. Auf der Reise lernen sie viel - über wahre Schönheit.
As he continued to stare, I wanted to point to my cheek and remind him, But you were the one who wanted this, remember? You're the one who asked-and I repeat- Why not fix your face?
It's hard not to notice Terra Cooper.
She's tall, blond, and has an enviable body. But with one turn of her cheek, all people notice is her unmistakably "flawed" face. Terra secretly plans to leave her stifling small town in the Northwest and escape to an East Coast college, but gets pushed off-course by her controlling father. When an unexpected collision puts Terra directly in Jacob's path, the handsome but quirky Goth boy immediately challenges her assumptions about herself and her life, and she is forced in yet another direction. With her carefully laid plans disrupted, will Terra be able to find her true path?
Written in lively, artful prose, award-winning author Justina Chen Headley has woven together a powerful novel about a fractured family, falling in love, travel, and the meaning of true beauty.
