description: Lucy Grealy has grown up with a face that makes people flinch. Her story is one of a remarkable survival; a story most people find frighteningly unimaginable. Diagnosed with a rare form of jaw cancer aged nine, it took Lucy twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and over thirty reconstructive operations before she could come to terms with her appearance. With great bravery, wit and grace she awakens in us the difficult truth that beauty, finally, is far from the place we think to look.
