The Book of the Day is B as in Beauty, written by Alberto Ferreras. Beauty Maria Zavala, or B as she is known, is a girl very uncomfortable with herself. She is not accepted for her intelligence or looks. She is lost.

Lost, that is, until she finds her own modern fairy godmother who gives her a makeover. She is transplanted to the world of New York, with all its glamor and flashiness. She learns along the way that she is really beautiful. But she must also answer the question—is she who she is supposed to be?

Alberto Ferreras lives in New York and is known for his work on the “Habla” series on HBO. This is his first novel.
