Life Lines is a celebration of how our ordinary, organic and often imperfect handwriting is not just a living form of expression and mode of communication, but also a relevant and poignant way of understanding ourselves and the people around us. Life Lines contains a carefully curated collection of real-life, deeply personal and often raw human-interest stories, drilling down into the nuts and bolts and complexities of our psyches. This ground-breaking book presents a different dialogue about uncovering our hidden selves through the analysis of handwriting. The journey traverses some difficult terrain, lucidly illustrating how our darkest moments can be seen plainly in our writing, but also teaches us some life-enhancing lessons along the way.

Tracey Trussell’s passion is exploring the uniqueness of people through the prism of handwriting analysis and shining a light on issues that confront us all every day. Tracey is one of the country’s leading graphologists and an accredited tutor and mentor at the British Institute. In March 2021 she was presented with a special GRET award for ‘The immense scope of her professional work and impressive services to graphology’.
