Off the Shelf Festival: Newborn: Running Away, Breaking with the Past, Building a New Family - Kerry Hudson

Wed 23 October 2024 , 7pm-8pm

Millennium Gallery

Award winning writer Kerry Hudson navigates trying to build a nourishing, safe, loving family without a blueprint to work from and facing obstacles that would test the strongest foundations. 

 

She asks what next, after a childhood like hers? Newborn is an 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.   

 

 This event is part of Off the Shelf: Festival of Words from the University of Sheffield. The full festival programme is available here: https://offtheshelf.org.uk/events/
