What to expect

Lucy Edwards is a UK-based blind broadcaster, content creator, Pantene Ambassador and disability activist. At only 17 her world went to black. In an instant Lucy lost her eyesight due to a rare condition called Incontinentia Pigmenti. She had to learn how to navigate her life all over again, the beginning of an extraordinary journey to find self-acceptance and happiness.

Lucy took to the internet and started to upload her experiences. Through sharing her day-to-day routine in her viral 'How does a blind girl?' video series, Lucy's story gripped the nation. She has since become an online phenomenon, accumulating over 1.7 million TikTok followers and 600k YouTube subscribers.

Part memoir and part self-help guide, this book follows Lucy's journey from tragic sight loss to becoming a thriving career woman. Each chapter contains inspirational tips, practical motivation and coping mechanisms which can be applied to people of every ability who are grieving a loss and/or experiencing a sudden change. This book offers a unique take on empowerment, happiness, strength, triumph over adversity and how we view beauty in the world.

Lucy's motto in life is that she is 'blind, not broken'. In these pages, she will help you adopt this same motto by demonstrating how the challenges we face in life need not break us but can instead inspire us to lead full, rich lives.
