J.K. Rowling delivers the perfect message for anyone who’s struggling this Christmas

J.K. Rowling is no stranger to hardship.

The now phenomenally successful author was once a single parent struggling on benefits as she penned the first book of the Harry Potter series. Although she is now a multi-millionaire and internationally acclaimed, she has never forgotten what it was like to desperately struggle in pursuit of a dream. There are few better qualified to offer a message of hope to those not having great time this Christmas. Today she took to Twitter to offer a genuinely uplifting Christmas message to those for whom this Christmas is not a time of joy. https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812707790053634048 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812708352807628800 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812708839908851712 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812709215949193216 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812709766120275968 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812710366308405250 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/812711109740396544 Sage words from someone who's been there.
