Author Kate Holden spoke at Kew Library on March 29th
to a group of around 50 people.
She spoke about her journey from a young, socially awkward
student to a heroin addict and sex worker and about her eventual escape from
the grip of her addiction. Anyone who has read her acclaimed book "In my skin" would know much of this story but hearing it from Kate in this
intimate setting gave her story even more power and despite the fact that she
must have told this story many times it still felt very immediate and raw.
Kate
is anaccomplished writer and lecturer and her warmth and candour endeared her
to the audience with one listener proclaiming her to be enchanting. A fascinating evening with a remarkable woman.
