Two college-age girls- Browyn, an anarchist, and Elaine, a go-getter- meet at a support group for those that have lost parents. Both of their fathers passed in different ways, but they strike up an abrasive yet charismatic friendship through their grief, anger and quirks. They both try to make sense of life after death, trying to become new people despite missing a vital piece of what made them alive in the first place. In this they learn what they're really hiding from- a truth that they cannot defeat and an acknowledgement that faith is more of a struggle than a feeling. Half memoir, half fiction, The face of a Monster is an examination of friendship, family and the curse of memory.

A troubled young man in search of a new life has decided to ruin his old one - by leaving his wife with no explanation, and seemingly at first, no reason. However, through flashbacks and memories, he realizes the severity of his mistake, only to find that his chance at reconciliation is useless when she wants nothing to do with him upon his return. What comes out of these encounters are moments of pain, loss, anger and reflection - all of which mesh together in a brutally honest and harrowingly poetic conclusion. It is not only a novel about choice, but about morality - what love can do to our thoughts, how it shapes our rationalizations about ourselves, and what we can learn from these days and nights where we are left to our own devices, wondering about the what ifs.
