Kat Ward

Keri Volume 6 Kat Ward

Volume 6 of the autobiographical series originally begun as a healing tool. In fact, Kat continues to heal whilst writing of her adult life even though she had been unaware that she needed to do so. Severely damaged from early childhood and throughout her formative years, Keri had ended up in local authority care, from where she should have been safe at last. This proved not to be the case at all. Already hurt beyond repair, Keri moved from pillar to post and from one disaster to another. In this sixth volume, Keri (now Karin) moves in with her new husband and his family. Of course, things can never be simple for someone who just does not know how to be a mother, a wife, even a fully-rounded person. In next to no time, Karin finds herself homeless, childless and without any kind of safety net. It is beginning to appear as if every single thing Mother had predicted for Karin's future will come true ... Now in her late fifties and living on the North Wales/English border along with her multiple pets and with three grown-up sons visiting regularly, Kat feels she has finally come full circle and is now actually beginning to live and experience life in a more usual frame. Sometimes, she describes herself as a writer.
