A Life Reimagined

The Sunday Times Bestseller

Heartfelt and honest, A Life Reimagined is a touching memoir of love, loss and life after tragedy, from beloved actress Jill Halfpenny.

When Jill was four, her father died. He went to play his weekly game of five-a-side football, had a heart attack and never came home. In 2017, in cruelly similar circumstances, Jill’s partner Matt went to a gym class, suffered a cardiac arrest and never came home.

These two tragic events frame Jill’s story in Life Reimagined, as she explores how she dealt with profound grief as a child, and then later in life as a partner and mother.

With vulnerability and honesty, Jill shares the invaluable lessons she's learned from grief, and how these lesson have helped her find a path back to joy.
