Katie Piper is a beautiful young woman of twenty-four who has everything she could ever want: a great career as a model and presenter, great friends and a loving family. Until one day she meets Daniel Lynch and starts a relationship with him. At first he seems like the perfect man: he showers her with love, gifts and attention, and Katie enjoys it. Until two weeks later she goes with him to a hotel and is raped, beaten and threatened with death by Daniel for eight hellish hours. Fearing repercussions, she decides not to report Daniel to the police, a decision that would later prove fatal. A few days later, Katie is walking down the street in broad daylight and sees a young man approaching her. He has a cup in his hands and thinking he is a beggar asking for money, she reaches for her wallet. A second later, she feels her face and the life she knew slowly being burned away by sulfuric acid... The Scars of My Life is the shocking account of a young woman whose body and soul were taken from her, but who fought back bravely. This is her incredible, powerful life story.
