Kathryn's books

Twelve tense hours, three women, and the suicide standoff that turns one family's little piece of heaven into a scene from hell. Based on a real event from Kathryn's life.

All Penny has ever wanted to do is dance—and when that chance is taken from her, it pushes her to the brink of despair. After a traumatic fall that she is lucky to have survived, Penny must confront her past and use her love of movement to rebuild her shattered life.
