Lucy Ann Boutaleb lives with her husband Bob in Kent, England. Lucy was prompted to write this book "My Past Shadows of Fear" - Missing Presumed Dead by the sheer worldwide interest in her story that was reported by the world media, including television, radio and newspapers; but what started pen-to-paper, was when a major International features agency approached her, expressing a keen interest in writing her full story; and also when she discovered that an article, in Annabel magazine, brought tears to some people’s eyes. I went through hell and triumphed in the face of adversity, narrowly missing death and survived to tell a true stranger-than-fiction story. That’s when I knew what true loneliness really meant. A mad picnic, writing, Christmas time, fresh untouched snow, kindness where it isn’t expected, lazy days in a hammock on the beach, dinner parties, good food, reading, being hugged, smiles and laughter, perfume, travelling, clever jokes, funny words, eating out, films, 60s music, animals, birds gardening, fashion, funny people, intelligence, holidays, new clothes, trying new things & love a good giggle. Seeing little plants starting to bud and grow. Every breath I take reminds me that I’m still here! Really enjoyed putting together my book “My Past Shadows Of Fear” Missing Presumed Dead… A True Story! My last chapter entitled: “At Death’s Door” is an experience that no one on this planet would want to encounter…
