Publisher Description
'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.

Astonishing story of bravery and hope
Beautifully written story and truly inspiring. It is difficult to put into words the immense respect I have for Katie, her family and health care workers. Wonderful work she has done to help others despite her own suffering.
Heartbreaking and very brave
This book is a raw and honest story of the battle Katie Piper has faced. Truly heartbreaking to read. Very brave to have written this book.
Incredible.
This book is a fantastic read. I bought this and finished it within 2 nights!!
Between tears in my eyes, lumps in my throat reading through the book, i just couldn’t put it down!
I’ve always admired Katie but reading the true, brutally honest story in her own words I admire her even more!! I have learned a few things from the book too, never give up! What a strong, lovely, admirable woman who deserves a life full of happiness.
I will definitely recommend this book and be buying the next books that follow! Xx
