  Written from personal experience, this book is intended for sufferers of facial and other disfigurements, and their families. The author's premise is not that the disfigured should learn just to cope, but that they should play an active and perfectly normal part in society. It includes chapters on the impact of injuries and accidents on those involved, facial injury and its personal and social consequences, plastic surgery - its risks, benefits and limitations - the routine of hospital life, and the future.
