It’s only when they shed their unconventional skinthat they are seen as \”good\” or less frightening. There are very fewstories where the character that looks different is the hero of the story … I’ve been the hero of mystory – telling it on my own terms, proud about my facial difference anddisability, not wanting a cure for my rare, severe and sometimes confrontingskin condition, and knowing that I am beautiful even though I don’t have beautyprivilege.’This bold, brave and thought-provoking memoir by award-winning writer and appearance activist Carly Findlay will challenge all your assumptions and beliefs about what it is like to have a visibly different appearance.
