Born in the inner city of Chicago, Kathleen Rita Cook spent her youth writing fiction, studying Irish mythology and dreaming of becoming a nun. Her mother worked as a teletypist for Wiebolt’s, while she and her sister attended Catholic school. The family eventually ended up in Phoenix, where Katy has spent the past thirty-five years raising children and volunteering in local schools and churches. She now resides happily with her son and a lovely old lady, her white-haired malamute. Jane’s Remedy was written to inspire and comfort anyone who has ever trusted too blindly or loved too foolishly. Katy hopes that her book will help others to laugh at their own mistakes, and embrace the future with a belief that things can always turn out better than expected.
