An innocent young woman, violently attacked in her family home by a total stranger and left to die. Beaten repeatedly and soaked with petrol as her home burned, Lauren Huxley's life was hanging by a thread. Lauren's battle to survive caused an outpouring of public love and support. The crime was so horrific, so senseless, anyone who read about the attack couldn't help thinking: how could I bear someone I loved to go through this? For her father Patrick, mother Christine and sister Simone it was like being plunged into hell. Doctors gave Lauren only a five per cent chance of survival. Her injuries were among the worst they had ever seen, so horrific that she was barely recognisable. But those insurmountable odds counted for little against the Huxley family's determination, courage and love. Together, they started to rebuild their shattered lives... and Lauren started coming back.

This is their extraordinary story.

Lisa Davies is the senior court reporter for The Daily Telegraph in Sydney. She was the first journalist to interview the Huxley family just four days after the attack on Lauren Huxley that changed their lives forever. She has remained close to the family and wrote the book of their story with their cooperation.

Julie Nihill has over 25 years award-winning experience in some ten Australian feature films, numerous plays with MTC, STC and SATC and many mini-series and television dramas. She is widely known for her role in Blue Heelers as the publican Chris Riley, although it was her portrayal as Jessie Bradman in the iconic TV series Bodyline that firmly established her in the Australian film industry. Julie is widely experienced in voice over, narration, radio drama and also teaches drama. She has performed on stage for many prestigious theatre companies including the Melbourne Theatre Company and Bell Shakespeare Co. among others.

Reviews

"If there's one thing I've learned it's that the pleasure in life is doing what other people say you can't." "In late 2005, Lauren Huxley, a young Australian woman, was savagely attacked in her own home by a complete stranger and left to die. This is the story of Lauren's miraculous recovery from her coma, the hunt for her attacker, and the Huxley family's stressful journey through all of this. Narrator Julie Nihill's steady, calm narration is appropriate, as the events described are horrifying enough to listen to without dramatic embellishment. She does shade her voice to distinguish the different characters but in an understated way that makes the listener empathize with Lauren and her family members all the more. Even listeners who might initially feel uncomfortable picking up such a book may appreciate this audio production." Expand reviews
