About this product

Product Information

A harrowing but ultimately inspiring memoir of how one girl's beautiful face and spirit was destroyed after a vicious acid attack 'I heard a horrible screaming sound, like an animal being slaughtered ... then I realised it was me.' When Katie Piper was 24, her life was near perfect. Young and beautiful, she was well on her way to fulfilling her dream of becoming a model. But then she met Daniel Lynch on Facebook and her world quickly turned into a nightmare ... After being held captive and brutally raped by her new boyfriend, Katie was subjected to a vicious acid attack. Within seconds, this bright and bubbly girl could feel her looks and the life she loved melting away. Beautiful is the moving true story of how one young woman had her mind, body and spirit cruelly snatched from her and how she inspired millions with her fight to get them back.

Absolute page turner, be prepared to shed some tears
I am not an avid reader by any stretch of the imagination, usually a couple of books each time I go on holiday. Started to read Katie Piper's compelling story and could not put the book down. Just 2 nights to read it.

Beautiful inside and out.
An amazing memoir written by an amazing woman. Her spirit and courage is so inspiring and the book never feels depressing, despite the harrowing ordeal she went through. Highly recommend.
