Sequel to the best-selling “Bent Not Broken.” Since qualifying as a doctor, Lauren Roche has had some ups … and many downs. Bankruptcy, depression, two suicide attempts — and the shock revelation that her son was a sex offender.

How does she triumph over all this, and at the same time achieve another goal of becoming a best-selling author?

Life on the Line is as gripping a read as “Bent Not Broken,” and in the end just as inspiring.

Wellington doctor Lauren Roche became a successful author in 2000 with the courageous first volume of her autobiography, “Bent Not Broken.” In this best-selling book Lauren described her turbulent childhood and adolescence, and her years as a prostitute and stripper, before she turned her life around. She went back to high school and university, eventually graduating as a doctor.
