Description
On August 30, 2010 Bethany Storro did the unthinkable: dousing her own face with acid in a suicide attempt that failed. Trying to hide from the truth, the lies she told became national news. Her journey, penned in these pages, will take the reader through a maze of mental illness to uncover the history leading up to the tragedy. Bethany's desire is that others facing similar paths will find help and hope before dire consequences ensue.. A compelling look at the underpinnings of the rare Body Dysmorphic Disorder and their long-term effects, Facing The Truth will reveal, educate and inspire.
