Doorstep to Damehood: An Autobiography

Katharine is an enigma - her life is a story - with ingredients in it

that any novelist would envy - starting from less than nothing in a

miserable home environment caught between an unsympathetic

mother and a kindly but disturbed father with a sister who was

kept apart, she somehow got herself educated to university level,

found employment as an editor with high responsibilities,

married a good man, and between them supported

many excellent causes.

This should be an encouragement to all who are finding

their own lives difficult, and an example to any who seek the

reward of a full and fulfilling life.

Don’t take my word for it, read it for yourself’.

JOHN CAIRNEY
