Beautiful in a Different Way
How I Learned to Love Myself
Ilka Brühl looks different. She was born with a facial cleft, which is a malformation of the nose, forehead and eyes. As a child, she was berated as a witch. As a young woman, she withdrew from the world and struggled with her appearance. Her path to more self-confidence was long and rocky, but it was worth it. She has turned her special appearance into a trademark and appears as a model in the media and social networks. The author fights for beauty being perceived as diversity. This is a moving book about self-love despite being different.
