Face it : facial disfigurement and my fight for face equality / James Partridge.

"James Partridge was eighteen years old in 1970 when his face was severely burned in a car accident. FACE IT tells the story of his battle to live confidently in our face-perfect society, and how he turned the lessons he learned into practical empowerment for others experiencing facial disfigurement. It is also a manifesto for change: how others who look different can take control of their destiny, and how the world can accept, respect and value people with facial differences without resorting to stereotypes and stigma. In a world where looking perfect is seen as the key to success and happiness, this is a joyous, celebratory book that looks prejudice in the eye and refuses to blink."-- Provided by publisher.
