![]() ![]() ![]() To having to use food banks just to feed them both. From having to work in a peep show whilst pregnant in order to save enough money for a deposit on a flat for when her daughter is born. What Cash has produced in Skint Estate is a real eye-opening, punch in the gut of a book, one that I feel everyone needs to read.Ĭash takes us through her life as a single mum living way below the poverty line, from the moment she takes a pregnancy test in a faeces smeared train toilet, with a busted up face having fled her abusive partner, right through to securing the deal for her book.Ĭash bursts into your brain with her straight talking, no-nonsense delivery of some of the most horrific and harrowing of times in her life. I picked it up intending to have a flick through it and park it in the book trolley until closer to the publication date, however, once I’d started reading I just couldn’t put the book down. I used to follow Cash Carraway on Instagram so when Matt at Ebury Press got in touch to ask if I’d like a copy of Cash’s debut memoir Skint Estate, I knew I had to check it out. ![]()
