    About this audiobook

    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 a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

      Such a poignant character study on true beauty. With deep characters, heart wrenching love loss and tragedy, this is a book that will stay with you forever!
    • 5/5
      I love Amy Harmon’s books. Every one of them makes me feel satisfied, content, and educated in ways that are difficult to explain. Peace, I think, is the best word for it. Thank you, Amy Harmon.

    • 4/5
      I'm ugly crying with this book and it's feels like heaven ❤️
    • 4/5
      I really enjoy Amy Harmon’s writing. Her story lines are always compelling, and she develops her characters, situations, and settings so well that you feel very connected to them.

      Based on the description, I didn’t think I would care much for this book - just a personal preference thing. And while it isn’t my favorite of her books so far, I ended up enjoying it much more than I thought I would.

      I won’t say much more because I don’t want to give away the plot, but this is a good “read” and the narration is excellent as well.
    • 5/5
      The Narrator did a fantastic job! The book was so well written, deeply emotional and i love how the author incorporated poetry and christianity. I love Fern and Ambrose I wish the book had even more romantic scenes with them hehe. Great read!
    • 5/5
      I loved and was captivated by this story the whole way through. Also Rob Shapiro did an amazing job!
    • 5/5
      More than I expected. I loved how the author explored idea of what real beauty is. I laughed and cried. The story moved along at a nice pace and I was invested in the characters. The narrator did a great job. Worth the listen.
    • 4/5
      Cute. I love how imagery is linked between the present and the past, tying up loose ends neatly and happily. More of a young adult novel or teen read, than adult, but perfect story-telling.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely fantastic! The audio narration was incredible and helped make Amy Harmon's emotional story even more impactful.
      What a great tale of courage and love: courage in the face of certain death, courage to put yourself out there even if scary, courage to finally get out of a bad situation, courage to live and love yourself even when all seems lost.
    • 5/5
      Rips your heart out and puts it back together again. Excellent Any Harmon novel as always.
