Reviews

I thought your presentation was very interesting not only as an
exposure to your first-hand experiences in Vietnam but as an author.
I think it is fascinating to hear about cultural and political topics that
naturally arise from your experience in Saigon.

Kat’s brilliant work on the crucible of my generation’s darkest time is
filled with education, poignant insight, and with the delightful flavor
of memoir through a young person’s firsthand experience.

Local author Karen Kaiser discussed her newly published book
Gardens in the Midst of War at a book signing held at her
neighborhood country club. Attendees especially loved hearing her
read an excerpt, which led to a lively question-and-answer session.

Your story and your voice are compelling.
