Lucy Edward’s is a remarkable young woman. She has not only overcome the devastating effects of loss of sight, she has used and developed other skills to become an accomplished writer and broadcaster as well as a career in the advertising world. I ‘knew’ her from the bright and colourful hair product tv ads, but I had no idea of her life story, Blind Not Broken is her account of what happened and how she has dealt with her sight loss. She has an engaging way of writing and although not easily moved, I was emotionally affected by her story within the opening pages. The stark reality if her ladt sighted memory being a side ward at Moorfields really hit home. Her world turned and instead of sitting her A levels, she was plunged into acceptance that her dreams were not going to be realistic. Such is the resilience of this young lady, she’s tackled every adversity with courage and hope. There have been dark days, but she’s weathered them and this account is almost incredible. She has my utmost admiration. As well as being a fascinating insight into the world of being blind, she has tips to help with difficulties. She could be an ambassador for anything she chose as she has such an empathy with people and the world around her. This is a moving and honest account and one of the best autobiographies I’ve heard. Her narration throughout is balanced and articulate. I wish her well and thank her for sharing her journey. This is a review of the audiobook.

This is such an amazing book portraying the struggles Lucy has experiences on her blindness journey. I think this book is even more informative and relatable because the stages of grief can apply to so many things in life. As someone with a chronic illness I related to many of the things Lucy experienced and talked about even though it is a different condition. I think this Is such an important book and as a follower of Lucy's for so many years I am so happy to see this new step in her career and journey. Thank you to the publishers for the gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
