Críticas:
"The Story of Beautiful Girl is a beautiful story, indeed. In its sweeping breadth and textured detail lies a finely crafted testament to the benevolence and brutality of our humanity. I dare you to read the first twenty pages and not keep going." (John Grogan, New York Times bestselling author of Marley & Me)
"One of those moving stories that stays with you long after you've turned the last page. Ideal for fans of The Memory Keeper's Daughter ... packed with stunning description and an astute understanding of the frustrations of living with a disability and being totally misunderstood. A truly eye-opening tale." (SHE magazine, Book of the Month)
"A moving and disturbing tale of love and loyalty. And you might cry" (Sun Buzz magazine)
"[An] enthralling love story. Simon has written an enormously affecting read, and provided sensitive insight into a complex world often dismissed by the "abled"" (Publisher's Weekly)
"The Story of Beautiful Girl is the most compelling, resonating novel I've read in years. It is a love story, a mystery and a visceral indictment of a once-popular way of dealing with the disabled in U.S. society. Rachel Simon has crafted a breathtakingly beautiful, yet heart-wrenchingly aching story that, despite its cruelty and inhumanity, uplifts the reader" (World Herald)

On a stormy night in small-town America, a couple, desperate and soaked to the skin, knock on a stranger's door. When Martha, a retired schoolteacher living a safe and conventional life, answers their knock, her world changes forever.
For they are fugitives. Lynnie, a young woman with an intellectual disability, and Homan, a deaf man with only sign language to guide him, have escaped together from The School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, a brutal institution where people with disabilities are left to languish, shuttered away from the world.
In a moment of despair, they reveal that Lynnie has a newborn baby. But, moments later, the police bang on the door. Homan escapes into the darkness, Lynnie is captured. But just before she is returned to The School, bound and tied, she utters two words to Martha: "Hide her." And so begins the unforgettable story of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and baby Julia - lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, yet drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.
