Born in the Netherlands, Kathryn has lived all over the world including Israel, South Africa, Scotland and Canada. Kathryn now lives in Virginia, USA, with her family.

Asperger's syndrome and high school shootings suggest a gruelling read but Erskine tackles such subjects with sensitivity and great insight.
