I, Lorna Tucker, have lived a life that most you can’t even begin to imagine…

The inspirational true story of one woman’s fight to survive living on the streets of London – from one of Britain’s most exciting filmmakers


‘You need to read this book’ MICK JAGGER


A HAPPY PLACE BOOK CLUB PICK

I have lived in 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.

Come to hell and back with me.
