A beautifully written memoir of a friendship between two writers, Ann Patchett and Lucy Grealy. They became best friends after college graduation when they both were students in the Iowa Writers' Workshop, a two year residency program. Lucy was a very complex, needy, intelligent, difficult yet charming person. Ann was such an devoted friend to her. Lucy had part of her jaw removed at age nine when she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. She endured numerous surgeries since then, and problems with her face continued. The story of Ann and Lucy's extraordinary friendship will stay with you. Try to listen to the audiobook... Ann narrates the story with beautiful expression. Lucy wrote the acclaimed memoir Autobiography of a Face.
