      I find that Angela Hunt's books fall into two categories: first, the typical Christian fiction book with a heavy spiritual message or a well-researched contemporary book with a twist like "The Face". Very engaging, believable, lots of things to think about afterwards... just some of the great things I can say about this story. I hope Hunt writes more along this vein.

      I've read other books by this author and found this one different than most of her books. I think there's another level to the book that I haven't yet grasped.In an ideal world, appearance wouldn't be such an important factor in how we're treated. Did Dr. Mewton do Sarah a favor by saving her and having all the procedures done when Sarah was little? Was she right to keep Sarah isolated from the world to try to spare her the "misfit" label? Was she wrong to not insist that Sarah continue to have surgeries or to suggest the face transplant surgery when it became available? Is Sarah's inability to read faces due to her own disfigurement or to the environment in which she's raised or due to a lack of training from those who should have taught her?I am glad that Renee pushed to find and see Sarah once she knew about her. I wish she'd known about her when Sarah was younger and that the two could have known each other longer. I think Renee was good for Sarah. I felt sorry for Judson. I was glad that he and Sarah were friends to each other.I was surprised by Espinoza's revelation. I was surprised by Renee's decision and what happened to her.
    • 3/5
      This book had real highs and lows. I enjoyed the start and end of the story, but the middle dragged as the focus turned to Sarah's work with the CIA. Although there was a reason for it, I still found this section very slow which spoilt the book for me.

      Angela Hunt it one of my favorite authors. She tackles subjects in a unique way, always from a Christian point of view. It's obvious that she does a tremendous amount of research for her books.This book was a page turner for me. I kept wondering "how" it was going to end -- and, of course, the ending was a complete surprise. I never would have guess. It was very thought-provoking.Here's the gist of the book: "Orphaned and severely deformed, from her earliest moments Sarah Sims has been kept hidden away in a secret CIA facility -- until an exexpected discovery gives her an opportunity to make a life for herself at last.Now Sarah has an ally, a long-lost aunt who has discovered her true identity. Aided by this brave psychologist, twenty-year-old Sarah must find the courage to confront the forces that have confined her for so long. And the strength to be reborn into a world she has never known."

      How much of our identity is tied up with how we look? That is a question the reader will ponder while reading this novel about a young woman with a severe facial disfigurement. To make things interesting the main character, Sarah Sims, lives in a secret CIA enclave where she works as a computer expert. This makes things difficult for her aunt, Renee, a pyschologist who always thought Sarah had died at birth but then stumbles upon evidence that her niece might still be alive. Trying to find out the truth proves difficult for Renee, but her tenacity wins out and she obtains a top secret clearance so she can visit Sarah and offer her the family love she has never had. But Sarah may not be ready to face life outside of the confines of her sheltered environment, especially with a face that elicits shock whever she goes.This was a good solid suspense novel with a thought provoking premise. It explores not only themes of identity but also of overcoming personal fears to embrace the world. I recommend it for fans of suspense and Christian fiction.

      Born to parents who died shortly after her birth, twenty-year-old genius Sarah Sims has been hidden in a secure CIA facility where she works to help her handlers achieve their goals. Yet her days of anonymity are limited because her aunt has discovered her existence and is determined to lead Sarah out of exile. But before she can leave the only world she’s ever known, Sarah needs what most people take for granted . . . a functioning face and the skills to use it. Will she remain in her secluded fortress or summon the courage to follow her heart?,I just finished reading an advanced copy of The Face by Angela Hunt. I can sum up my reaction in one word: WOW!A baby is born with such severe facial deformities that several operations must be preformed in order for the child to breathe, eat, hear, and speak. Twenty years later, her aunt, a psychologist, stumbles across the evidence of the child's existence, and begins a determined quest to find and love her niece, no matter her niece's appearance. But without an acceptable face, the young lady has never been in public; she's never learned to experience emotions.Hunt's talented writing pulls the reader into this tender thriller with realistic characters and believable dialogue. She teaches me something new with each one of her novels.This is one of those hard-to-put-down books. John Grisham, move over!
