You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know (by Heather Sellers)

YOU DONT LOOK LIKE ANYONE I KNOW by Heather Sellers (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Heather Sellers has prosopagnosia, a neurological condition that prevents her from recognizing faces. She sometimes kissed a stranger thinking he was her boyfriend or failed to recognize her parents. She feared she was crazy. But when Heather took the man she would marry home to meet her parents, she began to discover the truth about her family and herself. As she came to trust her own perceptions, she learned the gift of perspective: that embracing the past as it is allows us to let it go. She illuminated a deeper truth—that even in the most flawed circumstances, love may be seen and felt.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Karen White. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
