Kerry Hudson grew up in all-encompassing poverty. Always on the move with her mother, she attended nine primary schools and five secondary schools, living in B&Bs and council flats. Twenty years later Kerry’s life is very different – she’s a prize-winning novelist who has travelled the world. ‘LOWBORN – Growing Up, Getting Away and Returning to Britain’s Poorest Towns’ is Kerry’s exploration of where she came from, revisiting her roots, or lack of them to discover what being poor really means in today’s Britain, with a positive aim of raising awareness and inspiring change.
