Lucky cover

In Lucky, Louise recounts her profound journey through loss, trauma, and ultimately, resilience. Her story inspires readers to reflect on their own lives.

In Lucky, Louise shares her deeply personal journey through unimaginable challenges that tested her resilience. After suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage and enduring a terrifying house fire, her struggles intensified when she faced severe complications during an emergency c-section. This harrowing experience not only threatened her life but also impacted her mental health profoundly. As her newborn son was taken to NICU, Louise found herself grappling with the fragility of life and the weight of her circumstances.

Throughout Lucky, Louise reflects on her past, exploring her childhood, family dynamics, and the toxic relationships that shaped her. Her candid examination of her struggles with alcohol and the tumultuous years spent on Made in Chelsea reveals how these experiences have influenced her perspective on life. As she navigates the complexities of motherhood, she learns to confront her fears and redefine what truly matters.

Despite the challenges she faced, Louise's story is ultimately one of hope and transformation. Her determination to emerge stronger than before is inspiring, and her raw honesty invites readers to reconsider their own perceptions of luck and resilience. Lucky is not just a memoir; it is a testament to the incredible human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and find meaning in even the darkest moments.

Her battle, viscerally told in this harrowing account, is one to be in awe of and might have you reconsidering your own appreciation of luck. * Mail on Sunday *
