Ugly
by Robert Hoge
Ugly. A word no one wants to be described as. Yet, for Robert Hoge, ugly is an adjective he embraces.
Born with a birth defect so severe his own mother couldn’t bear to look at him, Robert endured one operation after another to try to remold his face to look more normal. Because of the way his legs had formed, he had to have them both amputated and wear prosthetics. Robert was different from everyone around him. Ugly is the story of Robert trying to fit in with his surroundings, find friends, and make peace with his own body.
I loved this book because of its honesty. Robert didn’t sugarcoat any of his difficult experiences. He had to overcome countless challenges, and the lessons he learned, he shares with his readers.
Ugly is for anyone who feels different for any reason.
