Running from the mirror : a memoir / Howard Shulman. by Shulman, Howard. Sandra Jonas Publishing House, c2016. Call #: 362.19752 S562r Subjects Shulman, Howard.   Face -- Abnormalities -- Patients -- Biography.   Face -- Abnormalities -- Surgery -- Biography.   Abandoned children -- Biography. ISBN:  9780985581534 (pbk.) Description:  242 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "As quickly as his face disappeared, so did his mother and father. Just three days after he was born, Howard Shulman contracted an infection that attacked his face, devouring his nose, lips, lower right eyelid, tear ducts, and upper palate. Abandoned at the hospital by his parents, he became a ward of New Jersey under the care of a state-employed experimental surgeon. Throughout the early years of his life, Howard underwent innumerable skin and bone grafts and reconstructive surgeries that left him with a butchered body and a river of anger coursing through his veins. The poignant true story of one man?'s struggle to survive against staggering odds and create a meaningful life for himself. An unflinching account of growing up a bullied outcast, with no family to officially call his own. Shuffled between foster homes, he is emancipated at sixteen and begins working as a dishwasher while living in a one-room walk-up in New Jersey. Through street smarts and grit, he eventually finds success as the owner of a popular nightclub in San Diego. Along the way, a European actress, a schoolteacher, and a fiery Latina help transform his life. A chance event in his late thirties leads him to his birth mother and their first meeting, an encounter that sends him into an emotional spiral. The bittersweet connections with her and her family drive home what it will cost him if he doesn't make peace with his past. Filled with heart-wrenching suffering as well as soul-lifting joy, this is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies.
