Age is a gift not everybody is given...
When a life-threatening acid-attack left Katie Piper physically and visibly scarred at just 24, her approach to ageing was irrevocably changed: she now sees each passing year as a reminder of the privilege of being alive. Over a decade on from sharing her story for the first time, Katie reflects on what it means to age well within a world that has too often made women feel irrelevant or invisible for going through the natural ageing process. From how to know your worth to how to take up space in a society that tells you to be small, this book will help you cultivate a confidence you can depend on and find the real beauty in getting older. Katie Piper OBE is an international bestselling author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter and charity campaigner. She is a regular panelist on ITV's Loose Women and a presenter for BBC Radio 2. Katie shared her remarkable story in a Channel 4 documentary called 'Katie: My Beautiful Face', which was watched by over 3.5 million viewers and nominated for a BAFTA in 2010.
