Katie Piper OBE's debut book in the UnSeen series, "Will Inspire You Never to Dim Your Light," tells the remarkable journey of fashion model Ellie Goldstein, who overcomes adversity and makes history by becoming the first supermodel with Down Syndrome to represent prestigious brands like Gucci and Adidas in major campaigns worldwide. When Ellie was first diagnosed with Down Syndrome, her mother was told that she would amount to nothing. However, for 21 years and counting, Ellie has defied the odds and overcome every hardship thrown at her. Despite being told she wouldn't walk, Ellie has danced on main stages. Despite being told she wouldn't learn, Ellie has gained a college education. And despite being told not to dream, Ellie has gone on to become the first model with Down Syndrome to be photographed for Gucci and continues to change the face of fashion from the inside out in countless international campaigns. Ellie's heart, humor, and hard work have allowed her to achieve her dreams. As an advocate for disability, Ellie uses her platform as a disabled model to act as a role model and inspire other people with Down Syndrome. Ellie's story highlights the importance of family and how community and support can carry people through the toughest of times. Against All Odds includes the perspective of both Ellie and her mother Yvonne, making Ellie's story the perfect read for parents and carers of those with disabilities or those who, like Katie Piper OBE, are passionate about championing the most vulnerable in society. Against All Odds is the first book in Katie Piper's UnSeen series, which sheds light on untold stories of unwavering hope that deserve to be heard. The UnSeen empowers readers to own their stories and know that they too deserve to be seen. Ellie's inspiration is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.
