A 2022 William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist, What Beauty There Is is Cory Anderson's stunning novel about brutality and beauty, and about broken people trying to surviveâ"Intense, brutal, and searingly honest," perfect for fans of Patrick Ness, Laura Ruby, and Meg Rosoff.
To understand the truth, you have to start at the beginning.
Ava Bardem lives in isolation, a life of silence. For seventeen years, Avaâs father, a merciless man, has controlled her fate. Heâs taught her to love no one. But then she meets Jack.
Living in poverty, Jack Dahl is holding his breath. He and his younger brother have nothingâexcept each other. With their parents gone, Jack faces a stark choice: lose his brother to foster care or find the drug money that sent his father to prison. He chooses the money.
Suddenly, Jackâs and Avaâs fates become intimatelyâand dangerouslyâlinked as Avaâs father hunts for the same money as Jack. When he picks up on Jackâs trail, Ava must make her own wrenching choice: remain silent or speak and fight for Jackâs survival.
Choices. They come at a price.
