|  | Autobiography of a Face by Ludy Grealy
The author of this honest account underwent five years of treatment for a cancer that left her face disfigured. It took more than 30 reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. At a time when supermodels have become role models and many women seek physical perfection at any cost, Grealy`s poignant memoir lends gravity and perspective to the concept of beauty in America.

 | Eleanor by Barbara Cooney, Christina Moore
A picture book biography of the often lonely and painful childhood of Eleanor Roosevelt.

This book ends with her graduation from that school and includes an afterword that tells of Eleanor's many achievements as a First Lady and a humanitarian. Illustrated with color paintings.
