Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
In Newborn, prizewinning writer Kerry Hudson navigates trying to build a 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.

Kerry Hudson is awesome
To be able to match if not exceed Lowborn is a master stroke. I stayed up all night listening as really felt involved with her story. I usually dislike when the author reads their own story, but not in this case, Kerry Hudson has a beautiful and soft scottish accent. Wishing you congratulations for everything you have succeeded at and your continued success

brilliant book!
I had my baby in October 2020 via C-section so there were a lot of parts of the book that resonated with me! a great insight into the authors life around that time and what it's like having a new born in general but also the challenges lockdown new mums had to go through. I love Lowborn and would recommend it also. I love when authors read their own books and Kerry does a really great job.
