    Heart-breaking, fantastic, inspiring,  I could not stop reading...
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2011*

I was vaguely familiar with Katie Piper's odyssey but after reading a couple of articles on the internet I bought the book.  I pronounce this autobiography as the best of its particular type I have ever read.Miss Piper's story is so fantastic that it reads more like a fictional account than something that really happened to a real person.  For someone who absolutely relied on her beautiful appearance to make a living in British media, what happened to Katie was almost a fate worse than death.  A jilted boyfriend brutally raped her, then had an accomplice throw industrial-strength sulphuric acid in her face!  Her plastic surgeon said he had never seen a more horribly chemically burned face than Katie's. Her left eye had been blinded, she lost most of her left ear, most of her nose, her eyelids, and her esophagus was permanently damaged by swallowing acid to the point that she could not eat solid foods for a lengthy period of time.Her story starts with her happy, optimistic childhood, her efforts to become a media celebrity in the U.K., the nightmarish destruction and disfigurement of her face, initially her wish to just die, her dozens of surgical treatments, her stark terror of men and morbid agoraphobia, her dedicated struggle to regain her appearance, and finally acceptance of her rebuilt face and her gratitude for all who helped her.For someone who is not a professional writer, Katie's writing has impact, urgency, and conveys her innermost feelings with gripping emotion.  The graphic photos of her burned face are simply horrifying.  Katie's dramatic surgical results (and I do mean DRAMATIC) are the result of her plastic surgeon's decision to do a radical and never-before-tried full-face skin graft using a combination of actual donor skin and a recently developed artificial skin for the first time together. She also received several experimental therapy treatments at a burn clinic spa in France.  Her discipline in undergoing a rigorous and painful rehabilitation regimen is a testimony to her striving to get her life back to something that would resemble "normal."She now has her own full-time foundation where she raises funds for others who have been disfigured by burns, injuries, and birth defects.  The "after" photos in the book show how miraculous her transformation has been.  Even more recent pics in the British media show even more improvement. Her "before" and "after" images have to be seen to be believed!Prepare to be mesmerized, thrilled, and emotionally caught up in Katie's heroic story of courage and hope.

    Very good read
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2022*

From the first page I was hooked. I read this on a plane trip to Florida. When I finished it, the lady sitting beside me asked nexa out the book. I told her it was a good read. I gave it to her and told her to pass it on after she finished reading it.

    A truly inspirational story of courage

"Splash. The guy chucked the contents of the cup at my face and, in that split second, my life changed forever. The liquid drenched my face and dripped down my neck, and for one brief moment, I didn't understand what had happened.""Two men had destroyed my face, and now this one was going to try to rebuild it.""Things in life happen for a reason,' she said one night, in her beautiful, lilting voice. `Don't be afraid, Katie. God has great things in store for you. This is not the end of you, and I will pray for you.'""I'd never really thought much about God before. Mum and Dad weren't religious, and I'd never gone to church or read the Bible, but I tried to take some comfort in Alice's faith. For the first time in my life, I prayed to a God I'd never really believed in. `Please help me. Please give me strength. Please show me a way to get through this.'"`Everything's going to be okay,' a voice in my head said. `Your journey's just begun. You'll get through this.'"For the very first time since Danny had ripped my life apart, I felt hope flutter inside me. He wouldn't beat me. I wouldn't let him." My Amazon records indicate that I purchased this book. I honestly don't remember. I only know that I am glad I found the book and read it. It is an amazing story of courage and how one young woman fought back to live. I think the book blurb and the quotes I use speak for themselves in recommending this book. Beautiful details how Katie set her life goals and worked hard towards attaining them, only to have them ripped from her. She fought through adversity and won. I recommend this book and even though I do not rate books, I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
