Gold Dust : My Life (so far) with the Women Who Shaped Me

THE EMPOWERING, NO-NONSENSE MEMOIR FROM EASTENDERS LEGEND LACEY TURNERLacey Turner burst onto our television screens in 2004, starring as the feisty, outspoken and much-loved character of Stacey Slater. For more than two decades, she has been at the heart of some of EastEnders’ most-watched storylines, including her heartwrenching romances with Bradley Branning and Martin Fowler, her role in the blockbuster storyline, “The Six”, featuring Albert Square’s most powerful women, and her moving portrayals of bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis. Both on and off screen, Lacey’s life has been defined by strong, fearless, inspiring women. From the matriarchs in her own life – like her unwavering mum or exuberant nan – to the EastEnders legends who guided her early career on the show – including Barbara Windsor, June Brown and Wendy Richard – Lacey has always been inspired by the immense courage, talent and kindness of women. Now, in her memoir Gold Dust, Lacey invites readers behind the scenes of her life, sharing the women, their wisdom and the unforgettable moments that have shaped her. Filled with behind-the-scenes gossip and hilarious anecdotes, we hear “life wisdom” from EastEnders icons including Barbara Windsor and June Brown, learn how Lacey’s iconic Nanny Chick inspired Stacey’s spiritedness, and discover personal stories about the reality of growing up in the public eye. Gold Dust is an uplifting celebration and a reminder that women are bloody amazing – just as precious as gold dust.
