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.
