GIRL
WITHOUT A FACE BY Medeia Sharif
Evernight Teen, March 3, 2017
Destiny awakes with amnesia. She had been
driving on a wet road, about to leave flowers at a memorial marker of a
deceased classmate, when she almost met that same fate.
Her mother, Mildred, is restrictive. She
doesn’t want Destiny to have her cellphone, which a nurse sneaks into her room.
It’s useless since Destiny doesn’t have the passcode. After her hospital stay,
she enters her mother’s overbearing household. Mildred becomes physically
abusive, and Destiny fights back.
When Mildred is away, Destiny leaves with
her neighbor, Gabriel, whom she’s developing feelings for, and they drive
around to jog her memory. She’s positive she crashed near a memorial marker.
When they find the marker in question, and when she remembers her phone’s
passcode, her identity is questionable and Mildred is even crazier than she at
first thought. Destiny is eager to escape Mildred’s household and find out who
she really is.
