Narrado por: Lucy Edwards

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 this book, 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.

Fantastic

I am very happy that even though Lucy is blind she can figure out how to live her life to the fullest and I find it interesting that she can get to be able to go somewhere by herself and also do things by herself this book was similar to me because I'm in a wheelchair with FA is where you are in a chair because the bottom of your legs you can not feel and your feet become purple and it's hard to move your legs and feet I love this book I can see but I still see but I need doors my chair can fit and Also I love how the book relates some of her in some ways and some in my ways thank you for writing this book and talking out the book on this book I appreciate this book a lot and I say that this book is a favorite and I hope Lucy reads this. Just because you are blind doesn't mean that you can't live your own life to the fullest you have so many ways to live a life for anyone. Thank you for making this book

So relatable

I too lost my vision, and I could relate to so much of what she said. I think this book is essential for those of us who have experience vision loss. Thankfully I think like she does with embracing it, and not seeing it as a bad thing.
