Book: Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy

Memoir, hardback. Excellent pre-owned condition. Minor cosmetic wear and one crease on dust jacket (see pics). No tears, marks, or highlighting. "Lucy Grealy was diagnosed at age 9 with a potentially terminal cancer. After having a third of her jaw removed, she faced her classmates' cruelty. She received more than thirty years' worth of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. A strikingly candid memoir written in lyrical prose. Grealy tells her story without sentimentality, and with considerable wit." This is a really engaging memoir. I've read it so often over the years, but it's time to downsize. I hope someone else finds meaning in it. <3
