What to expect

Lorna Tucker, have lived a life that most of you can't even begin to imagine...

The unflinching true story of one woman's fight to survive living on the streets of London - from Britain's most exciting filmmaker

'You need to read this' MICK JAGGER

'Truly changes your perception of what the words 'strength' and 'endurance' mean' CUBA GOODING JR

A HAPPY PLACE BOOK CLUB PICK

I have lived on London's piss-soaked streets, I have lived with the sweet embrace of heroin, I have lived when I should have died. I have lied, I have thieved, I have stripped, I have tricked, I have loved, I have fallen, I have survived.

I could be your daughter, your mother, your lover - I could be you.

Come to hell and back with me.

'Deftly written' THE TIMES

'Unflinching and unforgettable' VOGUE
