"Katapult" is a gripping cautionary tale that chronicles the tumultuous life of Kat, the daughter of a wealthy Canadian businessman who got mixed up with the Iran Contra Affair, adding a layer of complexity to her already challenging upbringing. From the outside, Kat seems to have it all, but by the time she turns thirty-five, she has lived nine different lives, adopted five names, and witnessed the extremes of human experience. Her journey takes her through the highs of opulent wealth, the murky world of arms deals, and the tragedies of murder, addiction, and abuse. Along the way, she also experiences the complexities of love, grapples with personal loss, and eventually finds herself drawn to the strict world of Orthodox Judaism.
