Lowborn

Book excerpt: "Chav, Lowlife, Ned. When every day of your life you have been told you are worth nothing to society, can you ever escape that sense of being 'lowborn'? Kerry Hudson grew up in grinding poverty with her sister and single mother. Always on the move, her childhood was spent in a series of BetBs and council flats - a new school every year or so and nowhere to truly call home. Twenty years later, Kerry's life is unrecognisable but she often finds herself looking over her shoulder, caught somehow between two worlds. In Lowborn she journeys into her past, revisiting the towns she grew up in to try to understand what made her who she is, as well as what being poor really means in Britain today." Klappentext.
