What is Kathleen Passionate About?
"Stories that will change the world are what excites me," shares Kathleen.
She is drawn to narratives about strong, resilient, and complex women who overcome odds and grow in love for themselves and others. Kathleen's stories show how a deepening understanding of inner truths can challenge one's social belonging, and how this tension between inner and outer selves serves or destroys. Grappling with complicity, the characters in The Loneliness of Glass struggle as they learn how an intent to "save" others is often fraught with hypocrisy and can lead to self-destruction.
