Review & Description
Chasing Beauty is the story of how and why an ordinary young woman surgically rearranged her entire face before age thirty-six.
Born to uninvolved parents, author Jamieson Dale developed into a lonely girl with a voluptuous figure but a plain face. Attention to image both inside and outside of home suggested to Jamieson that her attractive body made of her an object.
Through cosmetic surgery, Jamieson wanted a beautiful face to make herself into a person: one worthy of love, and of survival.
Jamieson wanted---fifteen different times---to believe in the magic implied in a cosmetic surgical transformation. She failed---fifteen different times---to find it; but in the end found a kind husband and a shaky peace with herself as an aging woman.
Ultimately, Chasing Beauty is an examination of loneliness. It is about the dichotomous need for and fear of human connection; and the emotional strength of adopting the burden of loving oneself. Jamieson learns by the end of her chase for beauty that it alone won't make intimacy feel safe.Chasing Beauty is the story of how and why an ordinary young woman surgically rearranged her entire face before age thirty-six.
