You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know: A True Story of Family, Face Blindness, and Forgiveness by Heather Sellers

Heather Sellers grew up in a family that she thought was a little chaotic but weren't all families? Turns out no but she didn't realize that until she was in her late 30's. During a trip back to where she grew up, Sellers was introduced to the idea that her mother was a paranoid schizophrenic and she herself had prosopagnosia, in other words, face blindness. At first in complete denial that she could have missed such important information about her mother and herself, Heather rejects both ideas. But she is haunted by them enough that she begins to research both conditions in an effort to dispute them. What happens instead is she confirms the truth and reality of both conditions, her mother is a paranoid schizophrenic and she has face blindness. Finally accepting the truth, so many pieces of a puzzle she thought was incomplete come together, and filling in those missing pieces upends her life in many ways. It also provides her some answers, relief, and ways to take action. This is a very interesting look into mental illness, face blindness, and the impact not knowing what you don't know until you do know it has on life and the choices you make. I really appreciated reading Sellers story and thank her for sharing with the world at large.
