Reviews:
“Kathleen Melton is continually inspired by what just a few words can mean to so many. She strives to find the extraordinary moments in an ordinary life and the ordinary moments in extraordinary circumstances. From taking a mini van to the Academy Awards to the rush of gratitude at being able to pick up a child from school, Kathleen’s ability to relate a story that touches many is a gift that crosses generations, genders, and cultures. Her writing style is engaging, clear and omniscient. She seeks to learn about, talk about, and write about the little moments that make life whole, about the moments that we all face, that we hope to face, and that we long to never face. She shows us the threads that tie us all together and the pain, joy, sorrow and glee at the cutting, breaking, stretching and repairing of those threads.”
“As a mom myself….oh wait…no I’m not…I really enjoy Kathleen’s style – it’s lucid and fun and humorous. I can see her being really popular and addictive in a good way.”
- Brad Hall, Writer and Television Producer
“Kathleen is our generations Erma Bombeck. Truly good…so much feeling, thought and humor.”
- Julie Diamond Bobbit, Psy.D.
