In her moving and insightful memoir, "Is This How You See Me?," Emily Ladau shares her experiences of growing up with a rare facial difference. Ladau was born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a condition that affects the development of the facial bones and tissues. As a result, she has a distinctive appearance that has often set her apart from others.

Ladau's memoir is a powerful and personal account of the challenges she has faced throughout her life. She writes about the stares, the whispers, and the outright cruelty that she has experienced from strangers and even from those who should have known better. She also writes about the strength and resilience that she has developed in the face of adversity.

Ladau's book is not just a story of disability. It is also a story of identity, self-acceptance, and the power of community. Ladau writes about the importance of finding her own voice and of using her platform to advocate for others with disabilities. She also writes about the importance of surrounding herself with people who love and support her for who she is, not what she looks like.

"Is This How You See Me?" is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt different or who has ever been the target of prejudice or discrimination. It is a powerful and inspiring story that will challenge your assumptions and change the way you see the world.
