Description
Morgan Bayley has always had a distinctive look - big eyes, a wide smile . . . and an unusually large nose. She still carries the emotional scars that come from looking different, and it's shaped her life. In junior high, she was seduced and abandoned by the first boy who showed her attention, and ended up being a mother before she graduated high school. To top it off, she also lost her loving, supportive mother, leaving her with a domineering father who seemed to favor her beautiful younger sister, Olympia.
Now, at the age of thirty-nine, Morgan has come a long way - she has a fulfilling career, owns her own home, and has a great relationship with her grown daughter, but she's still carrying around her old, sorry self-image, and dating a man who's as curt and critical as her father.
But everything changes when her best friend enters her in a makeover contest. The journey to Morgan's makeover is a sexy tale of one woman's transformation from an ugly-ducking to a swan.
Will the brand new Morgan discover a new and satisfying life, now that she is beautiful and bold, or will unexpected events that uncover long-buried secrets and lies bring about new emotions and more pain? Are some things better left alone? Find out if beauty can come from the outside in, as opposed to the inside out, in Morgan's dramatic quest to be pretty.
