    For me, she's truly an inspiration!  I wish all my children could have read about this while they were growing up.

    This picture is familiar to me but I did not know the story. There are genetic illnesses like this at Great Ormond Street and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, some of these children have the most horrendous facial deformities - heaven knows what they go through. Just awful and luckily so very rare, these children too would have suffered from the ignorance of people and have many a tale to tell but this lady is inspirational as you say. She has so much strength to go through what must have been destroying from these so extremely ignorant people.

      She is an inspiration for so many people who are suffering insults because of theire looks or ethnic backgrounds.She is beautiful from the inside out. Thats why we schould never judge a person until you walk a mile in theire shoes.

        Wow. You never know. I wonder if I've seen her (or someone like her) and had the same negative thoughts. Live and learn. I'm glad I read the story........

          I will definitely be buying her book.  She looks like a very nice person, which makes her attractive in my view. Real beauty comes from inside. This lady has it.

            I don't think she's ugly- but that's me.  She sounds like a wonderful person!
