Man Without a Face
Preview: Hear it

Charles didnt know much about life ... until he met The Man Without a Face Id never had a friend, and he was my friend; Id never really, except for a shadowy memory, had a father, and he was my father. Id never known an adult I could communicate with or trust, and I communicated with him all the time, whether I was actually talking to him or not. And I trusted him ...... Fourteenyearold Charles desperately wants two things a father and a way out. Little love has come his way until the summer he befriends a mysterious scarred man named Justin McLeod, nicknamed The Man Without a Face. Charles enlists McLeods help as tutor for the St. Matthews school entrance exams, his ticket away from the unpleasant restrictions of his home life. But more important than anything he could get out of a book, that summer Charles learns from McLeod a stirring life lesson about the many faces of love. Not much affection had come Charless way until the summer he was fourteen, when he met McLeod a man whose face was deeply scarred and learned that love has many facets. BL. A highly moral book, powerfully and sensitively written; a book that never loses sight of the human.
