Autorenporträt
Kathleen, a registered nurse and licensed foster parent, and her husband Ron reside in Wadsworth, Ohio. To date, they have fostered 165 foster children who have had no one to care for them and nowhere else to go. They love spending time with their adult children and participating in the exciting events happening in their lives. Kathleen's favorite moments happen around her garden whether she is teaching children about planting or watching strawberry juice trickle down their smiling faces. She also treasures the time spent woodworking with her Dad. While Kathleen and Ron's main focus is fostering, they also enjoy advocating for children in the foster-care system through speaking engagements and community events. Kathleen is a member of the National Foster Parent Association and the Catholic Writers Guild.
