Kathy Joy La Plante
Kathy Joy La Plante is a truth-teller, rebel, and late-blooming author who found her voice at seventy-two. Her debut book is a courageous coming-out memoir—an act of defiance and liberation born from decades of silence. What began as a reluctant project, nudged forward by her life coach and astrologer, evolved into a transformative reckoning with her past and a bold declaration of identity.
Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, Kathy embraced the idea that creativity is a choice, not a privilege. In 2023, she chose to create. With dogged passion and raw vulnerability, she unearthed memories long buried—some painful, others haunting—and stitched them into a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Her writing is not just storytelling; it’s survival. It’s proof that she lived, endured, and ultimately reclaimed...
This is more than a novel; it’s a call to love in all its forms, messy, redemptive, and brave. An unforgettable debut. I didn’t want it to end.
