Publisher Description
Struggling artist Sadie Montgomery never saw what was coming... Literally!
One minute she's celebrating placing as a finalist in a prestigious portrait-painting competition, the next she's lying in a hospital bed diagnosed with a "probably temporary" condition known as face blindness. She can still see - but every face she looks at is now a jumbled puzzle of disconnected features.
As she struggles to hang on to her artistic dream, work through major family issues, and take care of her beloved dog Peanut, she falls in love - not with one man but two. The timing couldn't be worse.
Making judgment calls on anything right now is a nightmare. If only her life were a little more in focus, Sadie might be able to have it all...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With a thoroughly modern millennial heroine at the helm, this emotional contemporary from Center (The Bodyguard) tugs on the heartstrings and grabs attention. Portrait artist Sadie Montgomery, 28, may finally get her big break when she's selected to enter a prestigious competition. Unfortunately, the contest coincides with a minor medical procedure that turns into emergency brain surgery, and the recovery process leaves her unable to make sense of human faces. Though warned by her neuropsychiatrist that her (possibly) temporary face blindness may make her interpret her other senses incorrectly, Sadie works to get her painting back on track with the support of her best friend, Sue, and her neighbor, Joe, who she can only recognize from the bowling jacket he wears all the time. She also tries dating her hunky veterinarian, Dr. Addison, hoping a relationship will help her settle back into normal. But is she seeing the whole picture? Center takes Sadie's life seriously and her struggles with adulting resonate even before her face blindness sets in. Meanwhile, a dash of humor and an endearing love story make the pages fly. Readers will be hooked.
