Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have . . . until he wasn't beautiful anymore. 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.

A heartwarming book, sad, thought provoking .."ugly" people with good character ... I absolutely loved Ferns poem as heartbreaking as it was.War really does change people with love and support there is hope ❤

Such a gripping story with lovable and real characters who make the best of life with the hand they are dealt.Everyone can be a hero.Beauty is a facade that stands in the way to see what is below the surface...
