nourishing safe and loving family - without a blueprint to work from Kerry Hudson is
celebrated for her emotionally and politically powerful writing about growing up in poverty.
Her books and journalism have changed the conversation and touched countless lives. In this new
book she asks: what next after a childhood like hers? What hope is there of creating a
different life for herself let alone future generations? We see how Kerry found love what it
took to decide to start a family of her own and how fragile every step of the journey towards
parenthood was. All along the way she faces obstacles that would test the strongest
foundations from struggles with fertility to being locked down in a Prague maternity hospital
to a marriage in crisis. But over and over again her love hope fight -- and determination to
break patterns and give her son a different life -- win through and light her path. Newborn is
a beautiful empowering memoir about creating a family in the midst of chaos and learning new
ways to find happiness. It continues the journey Kerry started in her bestselling memoir
Lowborn illuminating her experiences of becoming a mother reshaping her future and reclaiming
her identity. PRAISE FOR KERRY HUDSON: 'It's not just Kerry Hudson's writing that is vibrant
