Publisher's summary

Natalie Queiroz was eight months pregnant when she was stabbed by her partner in the most vicious attack imaginable.

In the space of nine minutes, and in broad daylight, Natalie was stabbed 24 times with a carving knife. She suffered horrific wounds to her lungs, liver, stomach and uterus, whilst the knife missed her baby by a margin of two millimetres, before the arteries in her wrists were methodically severed by the hooded attacker she finally realised was her partner and the father of her unborn child.

After heroic intervention by passers-by and police, the attack was brought to an end, but her ordeal was not over. An air ambulance rescue was launched, and against all medical odds, Natalie and her baby survived - but not without life-changing physical and emotional damage.

Still Standing is the story of one life-shattering event - what came before that fateful day, what happened on it and how one woman and her baby survived to rebuild and heal together after it. At once a shocking story of evil, manipulation and violence and a truly moving reminder that a life can be pieced back together, no matter how bad the damage, this book will empower and inspire anyone who has ever faced true adversity to rise up and stand tall.

Wow!!! Very amazing story.

Awesome narration. Riveting life story that gives others hope in our deepest darkest days. Unbelievable what this woman went through. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. May you allow God's blessings to shower you and your girls with love! I hope to find a second book someday to tell how you and your family have continued on. Blessings!

Inspiring. Well Written, very well read!

Honestly had a hard time turning it off! The reader did an excellent job keeping me on the edge of my seat wanting to hear more. A very tragic true story with a most triumphant ending. I hope Natalie and her girls are continuing to heal and grow closer -will always be thinking of them as the book made me feel so connected. Loved it!

amazing story

It was so hard to stop listening. had me in tears a few times. domestic violence is a terrible thing to live with. I can't imagine her pain when having a daughter from the man that tried to kill them both. you are a hero Natalie

Devastating read. God was with her.

If your listening on audible and live in the US, turn the speed down to .09. Otherwise the book was gripping. I didn’t want to stop listening to it. I made excuses to leave the house so I could listen to more of it.

Gut Wrenching and Inspiring

I am almost beyond words. Though I know I will never fully feel or understand how this experience has felt for her, she has managed to portray the pain and heartbreak so intensely. I listened almost from start to finish, sometimes nauseous, my jaw dropping. My heart just aches for her and her girls. From the bottom of my heart I hope they find their happiness. I only wish Bob was never to see the light of day again.

Incredible Survival Story

Scary that it happened because of someone she loved. But a true inspiration. She turned tragic into something amazing.
