Book: Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy

Memoir, hardback. Very good pre-owned condition. Minor wear and one crease on dust jacket (see pics). No tears, marks, or highlighting. "Lucy Grealy was diagnosed at age 9 with a potentially terminal cancer. After having a third of her jaw removed, she faced her classmates' cruelty. She received more than thirty years' worth of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. A strikingly candid memoir written in lyrical prose. Grealy tells her story without sentimentality, and with considerable wit."
