About this listen

We all know the fairy-tale. An everyday girl meets her Prince Charming, they get married, have children and ride off into the sunset. Sadly, this isn't always the case and Christine McGuinness is keen to change the stereotype that marriage, fame and fortune brings an easy and blissful life...

This is Christine's first audiobook, where she tells the world her life story for the very first time. While telling her story, Christine was diagnosed with autism, as revealed in this book for the very first time. Christine outlines the difficulties and joys of being a mother to three autistic children—including the similarities she now sees in herself.

Her autobiography also delves into her anorexia battle, fertility troubles, her marriage, modeling career and tough childhood, subjects, which are sensitive and many of which she hasn't spoken about before.

She is a mom of three to eight-year-old twins Leo and Penelope and four-year-old Felicity, all of whom have been diagnosed with autism.

In this frank and candid listen, Christine reveals the struggles she's overcome in her life and still battles with today, but at the heart of it, she's on a mission to learn more about autism and to educate others and change the stigma around the condition. Christine wants to campaign to improve rights for those with invisible disabilities. She wants her children to be able to get a job, have relationships and live independent lives. In this audiobook, Christine gives readers a detailed insight into what being a full-time mom with three autistic children is like.

An interesting listen from a decent woman and mum in the public eye who’s had more than her fair share of adversity and is still doing her best. Positive and warm, just lovely ❤️

Love that it helps me relate after recent diagnosis. Making me also realise my other child may also be on the spectrum

As well as giving us a look into her life, Christine also told us about her three children and her life coping with autism. A very informative read.

A Good Read

Like the awareness of austim and showing just because someone is a celebrity doesn’t make everything perfect in their lives.
