It was shared by celebrities such as Zooey Deschanel and George Takei, and featured in over 60 publications. It joined a passionate conversation all over the word: what is beauty? Who got to decide? Why don't we talk about scars? This book follows Michelle's journey through 15 surgeries and body-confidence issues to embrace both her scars and her body.
