À propos de cet audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

'We love a rags-to-riches story, and we love to see someone triumph through sheer determination. But the story is rarely that simple. My story isn't, anyway.'

As the middle of five kids growing up in dire poverty, the odds were low on Katriona O'Sullivan making anything of her life. When she became a mother at 15 and ended up homeless, what followed were five years of barely coping.

This is the extraordinary story - moving, funny, brave, and sometimes startling - of how Katriona turned her life around. How the seeds of self-belief planted by teachers in childhood stayed with her. How she found mentors whose encouragement revived those seeds in adulthood.

Now an award-winning lecturer whose work challenges barriers to education, Poor stands as a stirring argument for the importance of looking out for our kids' futures. Of giving them hope, practical support and meaningful opportunities.

Ce que les critiques en disent

'A book of empowerment and hope.' (Patricia Scanlan)

'[A] story for the unheard and unseen that is fearless, funny and searingly honest.' (Adil Ray OBE)

'Katriona has taken her life and turned it into a call for action. She has given us all of her in her radically honest memoir and all who read it must meet that honesty with action. Poor is a book that can society, and we must all level up to change it with her.' (Lynn Ruane)

So many emotions

It is not possible to sit on the periphery when listening to Dr. O’Sullivan. Her story, her research, and the wisdom with which she so magically blends the two should be required for every reading/listening for every politician, educator, parent, and citizen.

Brilliant and necessary

While painful to hear her story it was powerfully felt. I think it was incredibly courageous of her to lay it all out there. Many of her experiences make me so ashamed because I know I would of been one of those cruel kids. This author let us know how each and every one of us can overcome.

Enthralling and full of depth

Excellent, heartbreaking, funny and raw, I am transported to my own working class roots in the UK and TG e deficiencies in the education system for children in poverty.
