Skin Deep

Beth Walker is sexy, smart, successful—and she knows it. When she is not working at the prestigious Casper, Wyoming, law firm where she is a partner, Beth and her girlfriend, Jen Blackford, are femme fatales who love preying on men after hours. But when Beth accepts an invitation to a weekend getaway in the mountains with a ruggedly handsome journalism professor, she has no idea that her life is about to be altered forever. While on her way to meet the professor at his cabin, Beth’s car slides off an icy mountain road and plunges over a cliff. Although she miraculously survives the crash, she is paralyzed and has lost one leg below the knee. Now faced with self-examination beyond the physical, Beth becomes bitter and suicidal, until a controversial physician/scientist responds to her email. Desperate to return to her former life, Beth embarks on a transformative journey that promises what had once been impossible. But can she really return to the woman she was after learning so much about the woman she wasn’t? In this science fiction thriller, a young attorney left disabled after a car accident must determine the value of beauty as she considers a previously unimaginable possibility.
