The Girl with the Broken Smile by Lindsay Paige

Being a teenager is difficult enough, and when you are different from everyone else it can be the most challenging time of your life. Born with a cleft lip and palate, Lindsay already had her challenges, but add teenage drama and a mysterious stranger into the mix and you get this wildly outrageous story. The Girl with a Broken Smile is a harrowing tale of self-discovery, love, and appreciation of one’s true self. Told from the author’s point-of-view, this indelibly honest and funny novel illuminates the strength and vulnerability of a girl who learns to embrace her differences and fall in love with herself.
