Truth and Beauty by Ann Patchett

I just finished listening to this amazing book. The author Ann tells her true story of becoming a writer along with best friend Lucy Grealy, also a writer. Lucy’s face was disfigured in childhood by a bout with cancer and much of the rest of her life is spent trying to fix her face and/or deal with it. It is an amazing tale of friendship. And though I have nothing like that, there have been moments I have felt as close to Sufi, Donna, Sniedze, and Inta. I am now reading Lucy’s Autobiography of a Face and expect to read all of Ann Patchett’s books. I realize I have already listened to her Bel Canto. (finished listening 2/17/05)
