"Compelling...gripping...a triumph of the human spirit." "For those struggling with trauma, Katherine’s story offers a brave voice, heralding an emergence from the shadows. It’s always reassuring to know you’re not alone, help is near, and it’s not all in your head."—Toadstool Bookshop, Milford, NH Ms. Mayfield began writing books on coping with bullying and dysfunctional family dynamics after she published her first memoir, The Box of Daughter, and discovered that many people who have dysfunctional family issues believe that other families are functional, and often suffer from low self-esteem because they think the problems in their families are "their fault." In fact, most people's families are dysfunctional in one way or another, and the effects of trying to cope with critical family members and family bullies can deeply affect a person's life on every level. But recovery is absolutely possible!
Ms. Mayfield's nonfiction books stress the fact that people can truly recover from family bullying and traumas caused by dysfunctional family dynamics, so that they can begin to live authentically, and create the lives they want to live. "Katherine Mayfield holds nothing back, and her unflinching, thorough, and articulate honesty is a true gift for anyone wanting to understand, face, and rise above the emotional scars of a damaging childhood." —Amy Wood, Psy.D., author of Life Your Way Creativity is her favorite pastime. She's passionate about writing, music, cats, and pickleball. In her "other life," she's a professional pianist. |
