About this listen

Natalie Queiroz was eight months pregnant when she was stabbed by her partner in the most vicious attack imaginable.

In the space of nine minutes, and in broad daylight, Natalie was stabbed 24 times with a carving knife. She suffered horrific wounds to her lungs, liver, stomach and uterus, whilst the knife missed her baby by a margin of two millimetres, before the arteries in her wrists were methodically severed by the hooded attacker she finally realised was her partner and the father of her unborn child.

After heroic intervention by passers-by and police, the attack was brought to an end, but her ordeal was not over. An air ambulance rescue was launched, and against all medical odds, Natalie and her baby survived - but not without life-changing physical and emotional damage.

Still Standing is the story of one life-shattering event - what came before that fateful day, what happened on it and how one woman and her baby survived to rebuild and heal together after it. At once a shocking story of evil, manipulation and violence and a truly moving reminder that a life can be pieced back together, no matter how bad the damage, this book will empower and inspire anyone who has ever faced true adversity to rise up and stand tall.

Could not stop listening to this book. I remember hearing about the horrendous attack which has always stuck with me. It truly is an inspirational story, one which should never have happened, however Natalie really is proof you can survive. The narrator read the book so well, the emotions came through and I often felt I could hear Natalie herself through the narration. Would recommend!

How this lady & her baby survived this, I do not know. It must've taken more strength than most of us could muster.
How anyone could do this to another living being, let alone to someone they professed to love so much, is also beyond me.

An absorbing, fascinating, thought-provoking book, well worth a listen.

An amazing story of survival.

What an inspirational book, well written and narrated which takes the reader on a roller coaster of a journey through a horrific and life changing event. Natalie’s remarkable courage and tenacity ashine through and the book is definitely not a ‘poor me’ memoir. So glad and grateful I listened.

Truly inspirational
