Story Behind The Book

A friend of mine said to me one day after lunch, "They should prosecute people for inner child abuse," and the seed for "Chasing Kate" was sewn.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:'Times New Roman';">&quot;WARNING: Reading this book might get you fired: once you start it, you won't be able to put it down!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:'Times New Roman';">There are many reasons to pick up Kelly Byrne's debut novel Chasing Kate. The best reason is the author's style: every sentence is a pleasure. Every single word is in its right place; nothing left to be desired. <br /><br />Byrne's style is smart, honest, in your face (in a good way), daring. She will have you almost in tears and then all of a sudden, when you least expect it, she'll have you laugh out loud wherever you are. And then she'll have you in tears again.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size:15px;">The book just came out. So a couple of months from now, when everyone is talking about it, you'll be able to say you were one of the first ones to read it. Go ahead now, and enjoy the ride!&quot; --Monika </span><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:'Times New Roman';">&quot;A hilarious and heartwarming story. Byrne captures the complexity and depth of Kate, our unlikely heroine, and her adorably willful stowaway's relationship with humor and grace. You feel as though you are riding shotgun on this unpredictable road trip. And you won't want the journey to end.&quot; --Natascha</span>
