Literary SOS

Sally Bayley was rejected by her family but eventually found solace in Shakespeare.

When Sally Bayley was 14, she hit rock bottom. She was in care, had been rejected by her family and she wasn't eating. So who did she turn to when she was at her lowest? Shakespeare. Through reading, she was taken to places she could have never imagined. (First broadcast 9th June 2018)
