“This autobiography is remarkable. The story of how Kathleen survived the multiple traumas in her life is both incredible and inspiring.

Her book shares a place with the Australian classics of autobiographical hardship—Caddy and A Fortunate Life.

A must read book.”

“How could such a beautiful and capable woman have survived the horrendous ordeals of her childhood, let alone the trials of her adult life, to become the success we see today.

Her obvious love of life and Nature, her devotion to her children and grandson, and now finding her true father are some the keys to her becoming the joyful and optimistic person that we know and love.”

— Kate R

“Such a strong and courageous woman, who has been through so much. Could not put the book down, was very intrigued to know the outcome. I congratulate Kath on finally putting all the missing pieces of her puzzle together and to finally put her mind at ease.”

— Alana J

“Thank you for your generously candid story. What a triumph. You should be so proud.

I was touched by the way you wove such a pursuit of positivity throughout the hardest memories.

Hard to read - as a teacher, my eyes will evermore be open to those who may need an advocate”
