You don't look like anyone I know : a true story of family, face blindness, and forgiveness / by Sellers, Heather,1964-(CARDINAL)703987;
An unusual and uncommonly moving family memoir, with a twist that give new meaning to hindsight, insight, and forgiveness. The author is face blind--that is, she has prosopagnosia, a rare neurological condition that prevents her from reliably recognizing people's faces. Growing up, unaware of the reason for her perpetual confusion and anxiety, she took what cues she could from speech, hairstyle, and gait. But she sometimes kissed a stranger, thinking he was her boyfriend, or failed to recognize even her own father and mother. She feared she must be crazy. Yet it was her mother who nailed windows shut and covered them with blankets, made her daughter walk on her knees to spare the carpeting, had her practice secret words to use in the likely event of abduction. Her father went on weeklong "fishing trips" (aka benders), took in drifters, wore panty hose and bras under his regular clothes. She clung to a barely coherent story of a "normal" childhood in order to survive the one she had. That fairy tale unraveled two decades later when she took the man she would marry home to meet her parents and began to discover the truth about her family and about herself. As she came at last to trust her own perceptions, she learned the gift of perspective: that embracing the past as it is allows us to let it go. And she illuminated a deeper truth that even in the most flawed circumstances, love may be seen and felt.

Everywhere to hide [large print] / by Mitchell, Siri L.,1969-author.(CARDINAL)470507;
"Law school graduate Whitney Garrison is a survivor. She admirably deals with her mother's death, mounting student debt, dwindling job opportunities, an abusive boyfriend, and a rare neurological condition that prevents her from recognizing human faces. But witnessing a murder might be the crisis she can't overcome. The killer has every advantage. Though Whitney saw him, she has no idea what he looks like. He anticipates her every move. Worst of all, he's hiding in plain sight and believes she has information he needs. Information worth killing for. Again. Stripped of all semblance of safety, Whitney must suspect everyone and trust no one--and fight to come out alive." --

Do I know you? : a faceblind reporter's journey into the science of sight, memory, and imagination / by Dingfelder, Sadie,author.(CARDINAL)897132;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-283) and index.Grocery store epiphany -- Three moms and a Nazi -- Missed connections -- Hacking the system -- Your brain's Rosetta Stone -- Oblivious ineptitude -- Fear, unmasked -- Student driver -- Sadie vision - Hollywood meets science -- Video game therapy -- We're all making the same mistake -- Quantifying quirkiness -- Triangulating the truth -- Gullible's travails -- Comic incompetence is the brand -- Appendix: Practical advice."Science writer Sadie Dingfelder has always known that she's a little quirky. But while she's made some strange mistakes over the years, it's not until she accosts a stranger in a grocery store (who she thinks is her husband) that she realizes something is amiss. With a mixture of curiosity and dread, Dingfelder starts contacting neuroscientists and lands herself in scores of studies. In the course of her nerdy midlife crisis, she discovers that she is emphatically not neurotypical. She has prosopagnosia (faceblindness), stereoblindness, aphantasia (an inability to create mental imagery), and a condition called Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory. What Dingfelder learns about the brain captivates her. What she learns about the places where her brain falls short forces her to reinterpret major events from her past and grieve for losses she didn't even know she'd had"--
