Kathryn Lang-Slattery, a published author of fiction and non-fiction for youth, became fascinated with her uncle’s World War II stories and began taping his conversations in 1996. Soon she knew she had found a fascinating untold story of Jewish refugees who became silent heroes. More than a decade spent researching, interviewing Ritchie Boys, and turning the true story of her uncle into fiction became an odyssey of discovery that resulted in the novel, Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy. Kathryn lives in Laguna Beach, California, only steps from her childhood home. A self-described “Renaissance woman,” she expresses her creativity by writing, gourmet cooking, pastel painting, drawing, home decoration, and sewing. Besides her creative endeavors she enjoys reading, travel of all kinds, but especially to places that require a passport, and time with family and friends. She finds tranquility simply by looking out the large windows of her living-room toward a view of her garden and the natural hillsides beyond.
