Jacquelyn Mitchard
Jacquelyn Mitchard's latest novel, Second Nature: A Love Story (Random House, $26.00) introduces us to twenty-five year old Sicily Coyne. The book begins with Sicily’s recollection of the traumatic school fire in which her firefighter father perished and she, at age thirteen, was badly burnt. Despite twenty-five grueling reconstructive surgeries, Sicily is left disfigured. When a family acquaintance offers the opportunity for the only surgery that can restore Sicily to the “normal” world, an emotionally undone Sicily considers the benefits and consequences of not only a new face, but a new life. Mitchard is the New York Times bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean, No Time to Wave Goodbye, and fifteen other books for adults and children. Jacquelyn Mitchard's appearance is cancelled.
