Lorraine’s story is one you won’t soon forget. Born wild and free in the rolling hills of Ireland, she grew up with a fiery spirit, a sharp wit, and dreams bigger than the Atlantic. But life had other plans. An innocent night in Cork turned into a nightmare that shattered her world, pulling her into a darkness where silence, shame, and addiction reigned. Yet, Lorraine is no ordinary woman. With Irish humour as sharp as a blade and a determination fiercer than the wind off the Irish Sea, she began the climb of a lifetime – from the depths of trauma to the summit of Mont Blanc, carrying an Irish flag and a heart full of hope. In this raw and unfiltered memoir, Lorraine bares it all: the laughter, the tears, the moments that broke her, and the strength that put her back together. From firewalking to facing her demons, from breaking the silence to forgiving the unforgivable, she shows us what it means to be truly unstoppable. I Am Lorraine isn’t just a story; it’s a call to arms. For anyone who has ever felt broken, silenced, or lost, Lorraine’s journey reminds us that no matter how deep the scars, there’s always a way to rise again.

This book grips you from the first page. Through courage and determination, Lorraine shares her experiences through and out of trauma and addiction, proving that recovery is possible even in the darkest moments.Her direct writing style and natural Irish humor build a story that feels vivid and real. What makes this book special is the balance between heavy moments and passages of hope and vision. The sections about climbing Mont Blanc and becoming a Wim Hof instructor particularly stand out, showing how far a human being can go.If you know someone who needs inspiration to believe in second chances and the power of never giving up, this is the perfect gift!Nano Ponce – Coach + Author

Lorraine is a powerful force that suffered much trauma and found a way to bring her beautiful soul to light with fresh beginnings. This is an engaging read for everyone who will face life’s challenges and appreciate how she found the silver lining amongst the dark clouds and rose above the challenges.

This book is a powerful testament to perseverance, humor, and healing in the face of unimaginable challenges. Lorraine’s story of trauma, addiction, and recovery is told with such honesty and humor that her energy practically leaps off the pages. Her newfound zest for life, after years of struggle, is as contagious as it is in real life—having had the honor of working alongside her, I can attest to her enthusiasm and humor, which makes you feel like you’re right beside her. It’s like hearing her speak, filled with bravery, curiosity, and forgiveness. Honoring her guiding stars and supporters, the book emphasizes the vital importance of asking for help. A story of rising with authenticity, grace, and an undeniable spark that makes it impossible not to root for her. Unforgettable and inspiring. Dominique – Germany

Not every book I read keeps me engrossed but this one certainly did. Beautifully written. The art of Irish story telling is very much alive in this lady and although at times this was a difficult read, the powerful message of survival and resilience was nothing less than inspirational. I’ll be highly recommending this to friends and family and I’m already looking forward to her next one. Thank you for your bravery and honesty. I’m absolutely certain that many women will take courage from your truth.
