AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Scarlett was gifted with beauty. But beauty can be taken in a day, in a single moment, by one car fire.

'Now permanently disfigured, Scarlett has become a smudge in her perfect world. She can see only one acceptable solution: to escape the modern world for Matilda Mountain, which is desolate, isolated, forlorn. Perfect.

'But mountains are not always as lonely as they appear. And unexpected friendships can be found in the wilderness. Friendships that challenge her ideas about perfection and her place in the world.

'Can Scarlett break free from the confines of her beauty-obsessed culture to discover who she is beyond the layers of her skin?' (Publication summary)
