Making Faces by Amy Harmon
Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She’d been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have…until he wasn’t beautiful anymore.
Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl’s love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior’s love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast where we discover that there is little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

man this book made me CRYYYY! theres a lot of grief in this book and while I'm lucky so far not to have experienced such tragic loss, I cant help feeling for the first time how much grief hit me hard while reading this book, still makes me wanna cry just thinking about it. Usually dont like reading in 3 person but the book was so good that I hardly noticed. 5/5 for sure!
Amy Harmon’s book called From Sand and Ash’ is really good. I read it in a couple of hours. The characters stay with you.
Wow. ❤❤❤
This simply hits you in the feels. It's so easy to forget that our problems are so trivial compared to what others are wading through. Sobbed uglily but felt the beauty of the words that shone through the pages at the same time.
