Running from the Mirror

<p><strong>As quickly as his face disappeared so did his mother and father.</strong></p><p>Just three days after he was born Howard Shulman lost his nose lips and more to a devastating infection-and his parents abandoned him. As a ward of the state he was placed under the care of a surgeon who experimentally rebuilt his face.</p><p><em>Running from the Mirror</em> is a poignant story of one man's struggle to survive against staggering odds. Howard gives an unflinching account of growing up a bullied outcast with no family to officially call his own. Relying on little more than street smarts and grit he rises from dishwasher to successful entrepreneur. When a chance event shatters his world once again he must make a daunting choice: live in the shadows of his painful past or summon the strength to make peace with it.</p><p>Filled with heart-wrenching suffering as well as soul-lifting joy <em>Running from the Mirror</em> is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.</p>
