Truth and Beauty by Ann Patchett. Dedicated to Lucy Grealy, 1963-2002. Patchett and Grealy are both well-known in literary circles, and this book is a very intimate and touching look at their friendship of many years. It makes a good follow-up to Grealy's book, "Autobiography of a Face," in which she describes her childhood cancer and the aftermath of the many operations she underwent to try to repair the damage it did to her face. Read "Autobiography" first if you get the chance. Grade: A
