Face It by James Partridge

James Partridge was eighteen years old in 1977 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, launching the global campaign for ‘face equality’ to challenge facial stigma and achieve respect and human rights for everyone, whatever their face looks like. It is also a manifesto for change: for how others who look different can take control of their destiny, and the world can accept, respect and value people with facial differences without resorting to stereotypes and stigma. James’s infectious positivity cannot fail to inspire.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.
