While putting together the list of books for our summer program, one of them jumped out at me, practically screaming at me to read it. North of Beautiful is about a beautiful high school girl who has a port-wine birthmark on her face. The reason I connected right away with this book, is that my cousin has a beautiful daughter who has the same birth mark.
In my family, no one ever talked about her birth mark in front of her. I never had the opportunity to know how she felt about it. I just wonder, if I read this book, will I have a better understanding about what my cousin's daughter had to go through growing up with that birth mark?
I ordered the book from my local library and hope it comes in by Monday, June 7th.
I'm slowly getting the annotations done for each of the books. There are several I think sound interesting, and I would like to read.
