Someone Like Me

By: Penny Lancaster

Narrated by: Penny Lancaster

Penny Lancaster counts herself as incredibly lucky. She had a loving upbringing, her life with husband Rod Stewart has spanned continents, she’s made incredible friendships, become part of an amazing family and embraced motherhood.

But it’s not all been plain-sailing. From being relentlessly bullied at school and underestimated because of undiagnosed dyslexia, Penny also experienced a harrowing sexual assault as a young girl. This has made her a staunch campaigner for women’s safety and, these days, she regularly puts in hours as a Special Constable for the City of London Police, where her primary concern is making the streets safe for women.

She’s also navigated the challenges of having the weight of the world’s scrutiny thrust upon her in her twenties, undergone IVF treatment, supported loved ones through cancer diagnoses, overcome her own depression and manoeuvred through menopause. Amongst a heady mix of royalty, rock legends and renegades, her story is one of resilience.

In Someone Like Me Penny tells her full story for the first time, with a natural empathy and humour that she hopes will help others on their own life journey. She shares her wisdom from hard-earned lessons, showing that the key to navigating both storms and sunshine is staying true to you.

Penny is so riveting!

I love her! She is so down to earth and humble! She kept my attention the whole way through.
Loved her candidness about life and love! I didn't want it to end! Penny needs her own podcast.

Penny is so relatable!

I always liked Penny and now I like her even more. She is not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside too. She is down to earth, funny and you get this sense that she would be the most amazing friend. I too have a 20 year old son and a significant age gap in my relationship and I could relate to her on so many levels. So glad she penned this book. It was a great listen!
