Synopsis

All her life, Amy Evans has struggled against that unkind gift of fate—ugliness. A squat nose stubbed like a plasticine afterthought on her face, a chin too long, and eyes straining to meet each other form a sad picture that dooms Amy to a life of solitude and lovelessness. Now in her fifties, Amy lives alone with her crippled brother, both prisoners of the hopes and aspirations of their youth. Then Amy makes a final bid for happiness, a last ditch attempt to meet someone who might love her. Suddenly her life takes on dizzying new dimensions as she explores untrodden paths of sexual awareness in an all-or-nothing gamble for dangerous and delicious success.
