A best-selling author who only learnt to read and write at 39 hopes to inspire other women over forty to 'chase their dreams.'
Karen Woods, 53, says she had a "bad start in life" and left school at 15 when she was pregnant - but tragically gave birth to a stillborn.
It wasn't until she was sent on an adult literacy course at 39 for her job as a cleaner that she realised she had a knack for writing.
