Kathy will read from her debut book Finding My Wild, which tells the story of her journey back to her homeplace in Inishowen in north Donegal. It’s an ode to place as well as a powerful testimony to love.

Kathy writes about home as a physical place but also how the home we carry in ourselves is ultimately the place where we have to be comfortable. With searing honesty, she writes of her struggles to settle into this new life, her identity as a woman, as a mother and of the heartbreaking losses she suffered.

Ultimately this is a book about healing and how the wonders of the natural world and immersing yourself in it can be a balm.
