Headline News
Author compliments West Sussex Social Services in Sunday Times
Girl
with Dove, A Life Built by Books by Sally Bayley
The
book itself is a mix between fact and fiction as a girl tells her life story as
she remembers it. Within the review, she mentions how she admitted herself to
care and how she is the first person from the West Sussex care service to have
gone on to university. There is also a really lovely description of her local
library and social services.
Sally
Bayley was already an avid reader at the age of four, and found her escape from
her traumatic family life in Littlehampton Town Library, who she thanks in her
memoir for “providing me with a free education from the ages of five to 15”.
One other key institution for Bayley was the West Sussex Social Services
department, who not only accepted her when she wanted to leave her family, but
also supported her financially during her first years at Oxford.
