The Face Beneath shares the tale of a young woman trying to overcome a traumatic childhood while living with PTSD, but with the love and support of her friends, she finds hope and the courage to face her past, confront her fears, and live again. “The Face Beneath is the second book in The Broken Series by Amelia Legend. Classified as Young Adult fiction, it is by no means your typical teenage drama…This was a spectacularly written book which broached a series of very important topics such as abuse, rape, assault and self-harm. Even though the target audience is for Young Adult, this is definitely a good read for adults as well with topics relevant to all ages. It was an absolute pleasure to read and I would recommend it for any high school or college student as well as any adult looking for a story about starting anew and coming to terms with your past.” 4 out of 4 stars OnlineBookClub “I believe Legend is a writer who cares about people, especially those with life-altering struggles, and her writing reaches out to them in ways they can comprehend. This novel is a gift to the young adult genre.” Author Janice Dick
