Beautiful Stranger
Hope Donahue
Gotham, 2005
Plastic surgery is the symptom, not the subject!
+ "I believed my appearance was all I had to offer"
This book is about the collateral damage of growing up a trophy daughter. I really think that's why there aren't any before and after photos. On the back of the paperback edition is a photo of Hope as a pre-op teenager and It is obvious that it is not the outside that needs fixing.
