You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know (Paperback)

Paperback. A "poignant" (Boston Globe) family memoir that gives new meaning to hindsight, insight, and forgivenessHeather Sellers is face-blind-that is, she has prosopagnosia, a rare neurological condition that describes the inability to recognize faces. Growing up, unaware of the reason for her perpetual confusion and anxiety, she took what cues she could from speech, hairstyle, and gait. The truth was revealed two decades later when Heather took the man she would marry home to meet her parents and discovered the astonishing truth about her family, herself, and living with mental illness. In this uplifting memoir, Sellers illuminates a deeper truth- that even in the most chaotic and heartbreaking of families, love may be seen and felt.A "poignant" (Boston Globe) family memoir that gives new meaning to hindsight, insight, and forgivenessHeather Sellers is face-blind-that is, she has prosopagnosia, a rare neurological condition that describes the inability to recognize faces.
