                                   The Girl Who Lived

by 
The Girl Who Lived is the remarkable true story of a teenage girl's fight to find happiness.


As the sole survivor of a boating accident that claimed the lives of her parents and brother, Susan battled to find any positive meaning in life. 

Losing her sense of self-worth, Susan went down a path of self-destruction before taking on the unexpected journey of teenage motherhood. 

Unwilling to remain a victim of tragedy, Susan faced her fears and learned to accept herself and the loss of her family, resulting in new found freedom and a thirsty passion for life.

Written in a brutally honest manner, The Girl Who Lived is a compelling memoir of a brave and courageous woman who invites you to journey with her as she recounts her experiences as a teenager, a young mother and as a woman. 

Bookings Essential Due to the Cosy Nature of Our Space!
