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

3.0

This memoir is by a woman who has an unusual condition called face blindness. She cannot reliably recognize people she knows, including her immediate family. She is not diagnosed until she is in her 30's, in part because she thinks she may be mentally ill, like her mother.

The main interest for me was related to Heather's face blindness. That's the unique hook that will attract readers. Heather's sad, dysfunctional childhood was certainly necessary, but the story jumped around a bit too much for me.
