Kerry talks about writing Too Much, Too Young
By the age of 11 Kerry Katona had lived in countless different homes and attended 8 different schools. By the age of 13 she could beat grown men at pool and knew how to look after her mother during a breakdown. By the age of 15 she had lived in women's refuges, the heart of London's East End gangster-land and several different foster homes. By the age of 18 she was a pop star...
Too Much, Too Young is the moving, gripping - yet often very funny - account of onechild's unique upbringing,and awoman's journey through popstardow, motherhood, marriage heartbreak to a new beginning.
From the backstreets of Warrington to the smoky pubs of the East End, from the shelters where victims of domestic violence hide, to the exclusive hotels where international pop stars party, this is an extraordinary read.
Better than fiction, more dramatic than the tabloids, more emotional that the soaps and funnier than a reality TV show... welcome to Kerry's life.
"I've made mistakes. I've struggled. But I'm still here. I know it's not over and that there will be lots of tough times ahead, but you have to keep trying. Even when it seems horrible there is always something to look forward to.
Remember you're not the only one. I've learned that everyone has their struggles and you just have to keep going because it's worth it. What makes it worth it for me is my kids. If I can make sure they have it just a bit easier than me, then I've done my job OK."
