KATHRYN KEATS
Kathryn’s life story is unbelievable yet substantiated in a jury trial that changed history. Kathryn was in hiding for over 20 years. She had to change her identity and could not continue her life’s work as a communicator and singer/songwriter. Forced by extreme circumstances of domestic violence, Kathryn had no choice but to give up her career. Now, safe, she has taken back her voice and is poised to use it—and her formidable connections and music skills—to help end the cycle of domestic violence.
