3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
'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.

What is beauty? Some things naturally appeal to us - the large eyes of babies and young animals, symmetry. Some things we are conditioned to find attractive by the media. Ultimately, though, it is in the eye of the beholder. A beautiful soul counts more for me, imo, than a beautiful face.

Finished this book today. Inspirational book coming from an acid attack survivor - Katie Piper who was attacked by her psycho ex-boyfriend using sulfuric acid. The aftermath was horrendous. By reading this book, it gave me a glimpse inside the head of a burn / disfigurement victim. Hopefully this will increase my empathy, or benefits me in any way. 📚💓

Nute One of the most important reasons for why we read. Thanks for sharing this book. Stacking immediately! 6y
