One woman's journey through love, loss and healing.

When her husband is diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour and she is plunged into widowhood at the tender age of 37, Kathryn's world is shattered.

Life Matters is a searing account of the days that follow.

Throughout, her unwavering love of horses weaves a golden thread of faith, providing strength through the darkest of times and warmth in a time of overwhelming grief.

A tribute to the power of love and a testament to the strength and fortitude of the human spirit.

This memoir of grief and loss is written from the heart and soul.

Industry Reviews

This beautifully written book had me in tears and then smiling in return. Reading this book helped me unlock many emotions that I had bottled up for nearly fifty years. I would highly recommend anyone to read this book but especially those who have been bereaved or divorced as you will find a kinship with Life Matters.

Vanessa Hill, blogger (Nutty Nags)

This book has broad appeal, but it will resonate particularly with anyone who has ever lost a loved one and is feeling totally heartbroken and lost, not knowing how or why to carry on, as well as with people who have a similar passion for horses and especially eventing.

Liz Fussey, Brain Tumour Research

Wonderfully well written and expressed, offering comfort as well as some practical advice and warnings of the pitfalls and traps that lie ahead after a bereavement. It is moving, poignant, but uplifting, too - a tribute to the power of love and a testament to the strength and fortitude of the human spirit.

Karen Bush, author

I read this beautifully written and deeply moving account of Kathryn's journey through love and loss in one sitting. One moment crying, the next smiling at one of her funny anecdotes. Her strength of spirit in the face of enormous challenges shines from every page. As a fellow equestrian, I adored her stories about her horses and dogs. An uplifting and inspiring read.

'Chat It's Fate' magazine

A moving story, spiritually, which gave me a lot of food for thought on the meaning of life.

Tissie Reason - equestrian event organiser, Chatsworth International Three Day

Eventriders will identify with many of the horsey stories, but any reader will appreciate the strength Kathryn has shown and be interested in the methods she has tried to help her move forward with her life. I am delighted to have shared her journey, a journey that has many layers.

Debbie Higgs, 'An Eventful Life'

A truly inspirational account of Kathryn's journey through love, loss and healing, illustrating the strength of the human spirit.

Kevin Watson, leadership coach

Life Matters has been written from the heart and soul. The result is a story that's deeply honest, very personal and intensely sad, yet incredibly inspiring at the same time.
