KATHLEEN CATHLEEN

The first of its kind, Kathleen~Cathleen is a double coming-of-age memoir penned in the authentic voices of adoptee and birthmother, and the evocative parallel struggle and possibilities that come with a relationship-in-reunion.

The Beginning
Picture
In 1998, Betty-Jean Lifton, author of groundbreaking " Journey Into the Adopted Self" told Kate Power and Cathy Heslin that they were the ones who should write the story on long-term reunion.

A chain of events in 2004 inspired Kate and Cathy to begin to write alternating sides about the turning points in their long term relationship-in-reunion from their unique perspectives. These mutual chapters were written in parallel over fourteen years, unshared between the two authors - until now.
