Beauty – Brian D’Amato

“People will do absolutely anything for youth. . .if they can risk horrible infections with face-lifts, and worse things from liposuction, then they can accept the risk of a little plastic.” Ex Yale pre-med Jamie Angelo is part artist and part alchemist. His work is a modern miracle of computer imaging and scientific engineering. A technique light-years beyond medicine. A creation so revolutionary the world must never know. He can reimagine and reinvent you as he transforms your old, unlovely flesh into a masterpiece of ageless beauty. He is not God. But he is close. To ambitious downtown performance artist Jaishree Manglai— about to become his most radical experiment— Jamie is the ultimate fantasy. . .a dark erotic obsession that knows no bounds. . .a master illusionist who turns every woman’s shattered hope for the few who can choose to wear beauty’s monstrous-and deadly-face. . .

Strong and courageous, Old Yeller proved that he could protect Travis’s family from any sort of danger. But can Travis do the same for Old Yeller?
