When a woman trades facial deformity for marquee beauty, she embarks on a “painful and illuminating journey of self-discovery” in this heartfelt novel (Nora Roberts).

Born with a facial deformity, Charlotte Godowski was used to the horrified stares she received from strangers. She’d learned to accept her appearance and the effects it had on others. Then came the cruel incident that compelled her to undergo a life-changing surgery.

Now she is Charlotte Godfrey, a woman of beauty beyond compare. In Hollywood, where such beauty is power, her rise is meteoric. Suddenly she has everything she could want: acceptance, fame, a bright future, and a love who can see her true beauty within.

Charlotte Godowski and Charlotte Godfrey are two sides of the same woman—a woman who can trust no one with her secret. But when fate forces Charlotte to deal with the truth—about her past, about the man she loves, about herself—she discovers that only love has the power to transform a scarred soul.
