“I first met Katherine 6 years ago when she was residing in the UK. I was told by many people in my life that my story was worth telling. But I am dyslexic and writing it all down seemed too hard. After just a few initial meetings, I built up the confidence to start telling her about my life. In the past, I had found this very difficult to do, but I felt a sense of ease with her. And with that, we decided to write my memoir. I found Kat very easy to talk to and before I knew it I had poured my heart out. Throughout this often-painful experience, Kat became more than just the writer; she became a very good friend. She never judged or offered advice. She asked me questions and guided the story to its natural end. When somebody writes your story, it’s important that they listen to you and write down what YOU have said, not what THEY think you have said. She did just that, and my words came out on the page – it was my story. But she helped me tell it. This takes a lot of time, patience, and understanding of which Kat has all three. All my life, I have been told to seek a therapist or a psychologist, but this book gave me a true sense of peace. And accomplishment. I felt safe with Kat. The result was my story in print. It’s something I can cherish, and my grandchildren can read it and know me. I would recommend her to anybody who is thinking of writing their memoir.”
