About this listen

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.

Loved this book, Lucy. It told the story of your journey with blindness, while being relatable and helpful to a much wider group of people through the link with grief. It was well written and I didn't want to put it down.

Lucy is a beautiful reader and her story touches my heart. As a VIP myself where my parents were both blind but lost their sight in different stages of their teen and adult lives this book makes me understand how much they pushed through. Blindness and the blind/vi world are my world but Lucy by guiding you through her journey from little sighted Lucy to blind adult Lucy is just so well written. She takes you both step by step through the grief cycle for vision loss but also through her journey navigating it. If you have a child/young adult or adult in your life who is going through sight loss this book will help them to know it’s ok to have your bad blind days and you will get there in time. Lucy you are a wonderful role model to all blind not broken people around the world. Keep being you

For anyone going through sightloss
