FICTIONAL CHARACTERS-TRUE LIFE STORIES The world is a cruel place. props to the one who invented that catchphrase...although he wasn't honest enough. The truth is, in as much as this is the case, the world is a place more cruel to others. Imagine being born and your parents shunning you. Growing up in a society that has varied misconceptions about you? Living your life while constantly looking over your shoulder. All this due to the fact that you have one simple, misunderstood condition. Albinism. _____________. Ladies and gentlemen. Let me say it in advance that this book does not aim in any way at defaming or denigrating any group of people, or anyone in particular, but is a means of spreading awareness about Albinism as well as exposing the stupid misconceptions that surround the condition. If this book impacts someone for the better, if its message makes the world a slightly better place, then I will feel as if I've done what I came here for.
