We all know the fairy-tale. An everyday girl meets her Prince
Charming, they get married, have children and ride off into the
sunset. Sadly, this isn't always the case and Christine McGuinness
is keen to change the stereotype that marriage, fame and fortune
brings an easy and blissful life... This is the paperback edition
of Christine's first book, where she tells the world her life story
for the very first time. As well as outlining the difficulties and
joys of being a mother to three autistic children, the
autobiography delves into her anorexia battle, fertility troubles,
her marriage, modelling career and tough childhood, subjects which
are sensitive and many of which she hasn't spoken about before. She
is a mum of three to eight-year-old twins Leo and Penelope and
four-year-old Felicity, all of whom have been diagnosed with
autism. In this frank and candid read, Christine reveals the
struggles she's overcome in her life and still battles with today,
but at the heart of it, she's on a mission to learn more about
autism and to educate others and change the stigma around the
condition. Christine wants to campaign to improve rights for those
with invisible disabilities. She wants her children to be able to
get a job, have relationships and live independent lives. We all
