BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Miranda Rae on the challenges of being a single parent

How do you bring up three children when your husband dies and you are left alone?

Miranda Rae meets Josephine Pepper to explore the challenges of being a single mum trying to raise three young children on her own, following the death of her husband from cancer.

Miranda Rae is a single mum with a young son who is 9 years old. Life is far from easy for any single parent, but in this programme Miranda meets mother-of-three, Josephine Pepper, who found herself on her own with 3 children under the age of three, when her husband died of cancer. Despite her grief at the death of her husband, Josephine's story is one of remarkable courage, resilience and joy in her children and in life itself. Producer Sarah Blunt.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
