"You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know does not read like any memoir
you know...Unless I've got prose blindness, Sellers is an ace...Her
calm, glass-half- full-to-overflowing worldview could, in another
writer's hands, veer towards treacle, but she pulls it off
beautifully. I predict exciting things for her: critical acclaim,
hearty sales, and, perhaps best of all, long lines of strangers at
every reading."
-The New York Times Book Review
"Never forget a face? What if you couldn't remember any?
Sellers...learns to appreciate the upside: Being blind to faces
makes it easier to see herself and those she loves as they really
are."
-PEOPLE, four star review
"Although [Sellers] can't recognize others, in this book she has
managed to find herself."
-Elle
"Stunning...This is a memoir to be devoured in great chunks. The
pleasure of reading it derives both from its graceful style and
from its ultimate lesson: that seeing our past for what it really
was, and forgiving those involved, frees us up to love them all the
more, despite their (and our) limitations."
