Faces

Description for FACES by Shirley Lord: The author of ONE OF MY VERY BEST FRIENDS and GOLDEN HILL returns with a rich drama of intrigue in the world of high fashion and perilous plastic surgery---where beauty is a negotiable commodity, fragile and skin-deep. When supermodel Teri Shephard is only half-jokingly told by her husband that he's going to trade her in "for a younger model," she heads straight to The Fountain, a "rejuvenation" clinic just outside Los Angeles, unaccredited but highly touted in the secret whispers of the nation's most beautiful women. What happens to Teri during her cosmetic surgery sets the terrifying plot of FACES into motion. Told that their mother has died in an accident, Teri's daughters, Jo and Alexa, enter their mother's high-tension modeling world to find out what really happened to her. As Alexa rockets into fame as a model---with her face on the cover of View magazine---she and her sister, Jo, begin to uncover a web of deception and betrayal
