Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week, I’m featuring a story with invisible disability representation, Hello Stranger.
I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.
My Summary:
Sadie has placed as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society completion when she finds herself in a hospital bed diagnosed with a condition known as face blindness. She can clearly see everything except faces, and those she sees as disconnected puzzle pieces. Because she’s a portrait artist, this is obviously a life-changing and challenging career complication. In addition, she’s dealing with family issues including a mean half-sister and a sick dog. This is not the most ideal time to fall in love with two men!
An invisible disability, a turned upside-down life, and a complicated romance….

I remember this one. Face Blindness is definitely an issue for various reasons, definitely when you are a portrait artist. Nice choice for a throwback, Carol.
I can’t imagine how difficult and disorienting it must be! It reminded me a bit of Left Neglected by Lisa Genova.
I had not read Left Neglected, but just checked it out on Goodreads. It sounds like a good story. Thanks for mentioning it, Carol.
