Everything That Makes You

Moriah McStay

Set in Memphis, this split-narrative novel follows two versions of teenager Fiona Doyle. In one narrative, Fiona was badly burned in childhood by hot oil from a popcorn machine and has severe facial scars. In the other, Fi is the version of Fiona for whom the accident never occurred. Alternating chapters explore these two paths for the same girl, placing a childhood injury alongside an imagined life without it.
