Broken Faces

Broken Faces, is based on real-life events. Fans of Lilac Girls and Kristin Hannah’s The Four Winds will love Broken Faces. An impassioned WWI story of loss, love, and the strength it took to get through a world war.

The WWI wounded soldiers were referred to in France as ‘Gueules Cassees’, or ‘Broken Faces’, and giving them back their faces through ceramic masks was one of the post-war efforts of facial reconstruction. 1916 was a time when plastic surgery did not yet exist, their only hope was these masks. As World War I rages on, a New York socialite and an Irish metalsmith join forces to create lifelike ceramic masks for wounded soldiers, offering hope and a chance at a normal life.
