Heather Sellers recounts a life twisted by prosopagnosia, a neurological disorder that keeps her from recognizing people’s faces. Her childhood primed her for such a disorder: her mother  nailed blankets to the windows to keep the government from “spying,” and her father’s drinking and cross-country drifting created a world of instability and fear. That world followed Sellers as she tried to live a life that felt “normal.” Throughout this difficult, compelling memoir, Sellers looks to find how “in all that darkness, there had been love.” (Riverhead)
