Outside Beauty
User reviews
One mother. Four daughters, one unbreakable bond. However, when an accident drives the four away from their mother to each of their different respective fathers, the bond is threatened, stretched, and thinned to breaking point.
Raised by their mother in an environment where outside beauty is everything, the girls receive a wake up call and are forced to cope with the fact that their lives have been drastically changed.
In Outside Beauty, Newberry Medal-winning author Cynthia Kadohata has explored and pushed the conventional beliefs of society. Through the spunky first person narration of Shelby, Kadohata has demonstrated the true power of sisterly love.
Thought-provoking and deep, Kadohatas Outside Beauty depicts a journey; the journey that four girls unwillingly embarked upon to find themselves as well as the previously distanced relationship with their fathers, and finally, emerged to become stronger, more responsible, and better versed in the ways of the world.
Marilyn. Shelby. Lakey. Maddie. Four different girls with four different fathers. Four people who discovered that sometimes, its the beauty on the inside that really counts.
One beautiful read.
In Outside Beauty, four sisters must deal with an unexpected separation. These four sisters have been raised by their mother, who lives off of her beauty and men. The girls have four different fathers, but are all incredibly close. When they get a phone call late one night, they must leave each other and the strength that they had together.
I really enjoyed this book. Told from the point-of-view of Shelby, it presents a different view of the world and beauty. This book was fascinating in how it told a unique story in a fresh voice.
