Status Updates From William Collins A Very Priv...

My mother was a radical woman. She chose to be a single mother in the 70’s to a baby, had he lived longer, I would have known as my older brother. She was ostracised by her own parents because her son’s father was black, and she was single.

She spent time in Holloway prison for her political beliefs and protests.

I wish I had understood how much being sent to boarding school from the age of six damaged her.
