As quickly as his face disappeared, so did his mother and father.
At just three days old, Howard Shulman contracted a rare infection that ravaged his face—devouring his nose, lips, and palate. Abandoned by his parents, he became a ward of the state, left in the care of a surgeon who attempted to rebuild what had been lost.
Running from the Mirror is Howard’s unflinching memoir of growing up as a bullied outcast with no family to call his own. From a childhood marked by rejection and pain to a journey fueled by resilience and grit, Howard rises from dishwasher to successful entrepreneur. But when a chance event threatens to shatter his hard-won stability, he must face a final choice: remain in the shadows of his past or find peace in the light of acceptance.
“Vivid and engrossing from start to finish.”—Midwest Book Review
