Sadie Montgomery never saw what was coming . . . Literally! One minute shes celebrating the biggest achievement of her lifeplacing as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society competitionthe next, shes lying in a hospital bed diagnosed with a probably temporary condition known as face blindness. She can see, but every face she looks at is now a jumbled puzzle of disconnected features. Imagine trying to read a book upside down and in another language. This is Sadies new reality with every face she sees.

But, as she struggles to cope, hang on to her artistic dream, work through major family issues, and take care of her beloved dog, Peanut, she falls intolove? Lust? A temporary obsession to distract from the real problems in her life?with not one man but two very different ones. The timing couldnt be worse.

If only her life were a little more in focus, Sadie might be able to find her way. But perceiving anything clearly right now seems impossible. Even though there are things we can only find when we arent looking. And there are people who show up when we least expect them. And there are always, always other ways of seeing.
