A contemporary Christian retelling of the Ugly Duckling. 

Calysta Daniels isn’t the same on the inside as she is on the outside. To cope with an unusual family situation, she puts on a smile in public and scars herself in private.

When her father goes bankrupt and whisks Calysta and her sisters to his hometown, the massive shift in lifestyle forces Calysta to confront what truly makes her ugly. Only then can she become the beauty God created her to be.

Before Calysta becomes a beauty braving the company of a beast, she is first a swan acting like an ugly duckling, trying to please the world when she could be the delight of a King.
