Beautiful

By Katie Piper

Book Overview

'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.

Customer Reviews

Heartbreaking and inspiring

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but it was seriously inspiring. Katie is just so brave and I cried several times over the course of reading this book. It's probably one of the most interesting, heart wrenching yet inspiring books I've ever read, and it makes you really think about your own trouble, which compared, probably really aren't that bad at all. If she can get through this she can get through anything!
