I, Lorna Tucker, have lived a life that most of you can't even begin to imagine...

The sobering true story of one woman's fight to survive living on the streets of London - from Britain's most exciting filmmaker

'You need to read this' MICK JAGGER

A HAPPY PLACE BOOK CLUB PICK

I have lived on London's piss-soaked streets, I have lived with the sweet embrace of heroin, I have lived when I should have died. I have lied, I have thieved, I have stripped, I have tricked, I have loved, I have fallen, I have survived.

I could be your daughter, your mother, your lover - I could be you.

<4>Come to hell and back with me.

An inspirational story and essential read showcasing the resilience of the human spirit -- Juano Diaz, author of Slum Boy A rare and powerful look at teenage homelessness -- Aja Barber, author of Consumed
