Number 1 on the Sunday Times bestseller list. Now includes a new chapter with stories that refresh Louise's life. How can you learn to live again when you've danced with death?
Louise's journey to having a baby was not easy at all, as she suffered an emotionally difficult miscarriage during her first pregnancy and found herself in a terrifying fire during her second. But her problems did not end when she gave birth. During an emergency cesarean section, she faced severe complications and fought for her life for several days while her son was monitored in a neonatal unit. This harrowing experience profoundly impacted Louise's mental health in a way that radically changed her, as she struggled to accept what happened to her while also becoming a mother.
As Louise rebuilds herself step by step, she reflects on her past – from her childhood and the dynamics with her family to her struggles with alcohol and toxic relationships, as well as the rollercoaster years of her participation in Made in Chelsea. Louise's experience has changed the way she sees the world and has redefined what is important to her. Although it has been a challenging journey, she is determined to emerge more alive than ever.
Louise's powerful story, told with complete honesty, highlights the incredible human ability to overcome anything, no matter what life throws at you.
