Doorstep to Damehood: An Autobiography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781908898296)

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
