Summary

The first ever female homelessness memoir

IF 'A MILLION LITTLE PIECES' WERE ENTIRELY TRUE AND WRITTEN BY A WOMAN

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

"A chronicle of her remarkable journey" - GUARDIAN

I have lived on London's wet, piss-soaked streets. I have lived with the warm, sweet embrace of heroin. I have lived in hostels with my newborn baby. I have lived so much that I barely made it out alive.

I have lied, thieved and stripped. I have tricked you into giving me money. And you've wished I didn't exist. You've looked away; you've been disgusted. I could be your daughter, your lover... you- all of us are closer to the brink than we'd like to think.

I didn't die though. I lived... And it's time to tell my story.

Come to hell and back with me.

THE FIRST-EVER BOOK ABOUT FEMALE HOMELESSNESS.
