Publisher's Summary
A forthright, honest and rousingly triumphant memoir from a woman who has to live with a highly visible different appearance due to a rare skin condition.
Say hello to Carly.
‘In fairy tales, the characters who look different are often cast as villains or monsters. It’s only when they shed their unconventional skin that they are seen as 'good' or less frightening. There are very few stories where the character that looks different is the hero of the story...I’ve been the hero of my story - telling it on my own terms and proud about my facial difference and disability.’
This forthright, honest and rousingly triumphant memoir by award-winning writer and appearance activist Carly Findlay will challenge all your assumptions and beliefs about what it is like to have a visibly different appearance.
Carly lives with a rare skin condition, ichthyosis, and what she faces every day, and what she has to live with, will have you cheering for her, her courage and her irrepressible spirit. This is both a moving memoir and a proud manifesto on disability and appearance diversity issues.

Absolutely Excellent!
I highly recommend Say Hello. Carly Findlay discusses her personal life growing up, navigating school, friendships, relationships, dating, marriage, work and career experiences while also sharing real depth, understanding and advice regarding the experience of being visibly different and dealing with issues like rude people, poor service, judgement, rejection and grief. I love her discussion of advocacy, ally’s and awareness. She names other great disability activists to pay attention to and resources. I loved Ch 8 I don’t want a cure and Ch 28 Emotional labour. I enjoyed every single one of her f$%&s and sh*#s. She brings a levity and frankness to sometimes difficult but very necessary subject matter. I loved it so much I am going to be listening to it again and again. And seriously, who doesn’t love Savage Garden!?! As a disabled woman on the other side of the world, I really needed this.
