Marie writes with emotion about her remarkable journey from a stay-at-home single mum, stuck in the benefit trap, to studying for a diploma in Adult Nursing at University. Beginning with very poor literacy skills, Marie’s desire to improve herself is driven by the desperate wish to give her children a better start in life. Winner of a Helena Kennedy Foundation Award for overcoming significant barriers to continue her education, Marie’s story is inspiring. Getting Better is a beginner reader for adult learners.
