Beautiful: A beautiful girl. An evil man. One inspiring true story of courage

Katie Piper . Unknown Year . English

'I heard a horrible screaming sound, like an animal being slaughtered ... then I realised it was me.' When Katie Piper was 24, her life was near perfect. Young and beautiful, she was well on her way to fulfilling her dream of becoming a model. But then she met Daniel Lynch on Facebook and her world quickly turned into a nightmare ... After being held captive and brutally raped by her new boyfriend, Katie was subjected to a vicious acid attack. Within seconds, this bright and bubbly girl could feel her looks and the life she loved melting away. Beautiful is the moving true story of how one young woman had her mind, body and spirit cruelly snatched from her and how she inspired millions with her fight to get them back.

About the Author

Katie Piper is a best-selling international author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter and charity campaigner. Katie made the decision to share her story in a remarkable film for the Cutting Edge strand on Channel 4 called 'Katie: My Beautiful Face' which was watched by over 3.5million viewers and nominated for Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Television Awards in 2010. Over ten years ago she set up a charity The Katie Piper Foundation to help people with burns and scars to reconnect with their lives and their communities. Simon Cowell supported Katie by becoming the patron and remains actively involved to date. The charity's vision is a world where scars do not limit a person's function, social inclusion or sense of well-being. In the summer of 2019, they achieved their goal to open a rehabilitation centre in the UK to offer other burns survivors the treatments that Katie received in France. In addition to her charity and writing commitments, Katie currently has her own Sunday morning Breakfast show on ITV1 and is also a regular panellist on ITV1’s Loose Women, a regular presenter on BBC Radio 2 depping for the Early Morning Breakfast Show and the Michael Ball Show on Sunday mornings.
