Underage Drinking

Preschooler to her grandma: Guess what? I’m old enough to drink now.

(We toasted to the New Year during dinner tonight using plastic flutes filled with sparkling grape juice. It did come in a fancy wine-like bottle. I have to admit that this is the first pregnancy where I’ve found myself missing an occasional glass of wine. Oh well. If my 4-year-old can pretend fizzy grape juice is the real thing, then so can I. Well, not really, but it was worth a try.)

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
