Left For Dead

Very early one morning, Samantha Barlow, mother of two young children, was brutally attacked with a brick on her way to work as a policewoman in Kings Cross. She was left for dead in a park. She could have been any young woman – the attack was completely random.

Samantha's husband Laurence, an inspector used to managing huge police operations, was thrown into the role of carer. She went through 22 months of rehab for both physical and head-trauma injuries, and triumphantly returned to work.

The couple speak candidly of Samantha's journey over the last four years, and the personal price they've paid to be in the police force. But ultimately this is a story of an inspiring woman who refused to give in and the man who stood by her side.

Ideal for readers interested in true stories and heroism.
