An unforgettably moving love story about the improbable odds faced by a disabled couple and a lost child-from the author of the bestseller Riding the Bus with My Sister. Lynnie and Homan are an unlikely couple hindered by race and disabilities, hidden away in a hospital. One night the couple escapes and takes refuge in the home of a retired school teacher, Martha. When the authorities finally catch up, Lynnie mutters only two words to Martha, 'Hide Her.' THE STORY OF BEAUTIFUL is the tale of three lives desperate to connect, yet kept apart by seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
