'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.

'One of the best [books] I have read about the complexities of poverty . . . one of the most remarkable people you will ever meet' Guardian

'An amazing story . . . moving, uplifting, brave, heroic, shocking at times' Nuala McGovern, Woman's Hour, BBC

'[Poor] is moving, funny, brave and original - just like the author . . . an absolutely incredible read' Roisin Ingle, Irish Times' Women's Podcast

The honesty and vulnerability. The emotion s and enlightenment.
At first I thought it was fiction because that is what our book club usually does.

That it’s a true story.

I couldn’t stop listening. This story is heartbreaking, insightful harrowing yet filled with optimism and hope. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

Listened to it all in one sitting

I recommend the audio version, as for me, hearing the author’s voice telling her own story added value. At times, a hard but necessary listen to understand badly needed changes in both perception of “the poor” and as a result of this, educational opportunities and potential contributions to society missed.

Highly Recommend
