Again, we follow the story of now eight-year-old Grace Kabelenga, hailing from Zambia, and better known as ‘the girl without a forehead.’ Thanks to doctors and technicians from around the world, she has received several surgeries now which are helping her to become much more functional, as well as rebuilding the deformed cranial areas.
