Author-Composer-Speaker
Author, composer, and speaker Kathleen Basi writes character-driven contemporary women’s fiction about ordinary people living, loving, and doing the best they can to find beauty in the life they’ve been given.
As a writer, Kathleen brings a lyrical approach to storytelling that invites readers to linger with the language and the emotion of the story. As a composer, she crafts music that touches the deepest places of our hearts. As a speaker, she communicates with care, intention, empathy, and authenticity… and a dash of humor for spice.
A year after the death of her husband and twin teenagers, Miriam Tedesco has lost faith in humanity and herself. When she receives a bouquet of flowers from her dead husband, she completely unravels. In the aftermath, she realizes something has to change. But when she starts going through her children’s rooms, she stumbles across an app her daughter wrote to guide her on a road trip across America.
“(Basi) introduces us to life, loss, love, and the resurgence of hope—she introduces us to ourselves.”
—Katherine Reay best-selling author of The Printed Letter Bookshop and Dear Mr. Knightley“A truly panoramic view of human frailty and resilience.”
Kathryn Craft award-winning author of The Far End of Happy"I was not prepared for how deeply tonight’s event spoke to me.”
