A moving tale of one woman's fight for her identity and her life when fate holds out a second chance. Sicily Coyne was just thirteen when her father was killed in a school fire that left her face disfigured.

Twelve years later, a young surgeon offers hope in the form of a revolutionary new surgery that may give Sicily back the grace and function she lost.

An intense and moving story of courage and possibility, Second Nature showcases the acclaimed storyteller at her very best.
