North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley

January 29th, 2009

I just got through reading North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley which I love, love, loved. The story follows Terra, artist and daughter of a once famous cartographer, as she charts her course through life, love, and family issues. Marked by a port-wine stain on her face, Terra can find beauty in everything except herself. When she meets Jacob, her perceptions about herself and her world are changed completely.

I love when books go beyond the surface events and take a deeper look at the details of life. Seen through Terra’s eyes, the pain is deeper and the beauty much more sweet. I would definitely give this a read.
