Description
"Everything has been hidden from Roxanne G. -- her birth name, her sister, her family history -- until her "boyfriend" tries to ingratiate himself by flying in her estranged mother from Tel Aviv. That visit is the start of a tumultuous journey, in which she first learns about a profoundly disabled sister who lives in a residential community in the Galilee, and later begins to unearth disturbing long-held family secrets. The process of facing this history and acknowledging the ways she's been shaped by it will enable Roxanne to forge the kinds of meaningful connections that had for so long been elusive. In this way, "The Face Tells the Secret" is the story about a woman who finds love and learns how to open herself to its pleasures" -- cover.
