Kathy Ailles lives in Bradford, Ontario with her husband of over 40 years and their golden doodle named Sami. They have three adult children and three grandchildren. Kathy loves to read, boat, travel and is an avid Toronto Blue Jays fan. She worked as Administrative Assistant at Bradford Baptist Church for over 20 years until her retirement in 2020. She has volunteered in many facets of her church including children’s and youth ministries, women’s ministry, worship team and organizing a multitude of social events. After memories of childhood trauma surfaced at age 40, Kathy spent many years in counselling seeking healing and freedom. During counselling she felt the Lord promise her that good would come from her pain (Genesis 50:20). She truly believes that this novel is the fulfillment of that promise. She weaves some of her personal experiences into the life of her main characters, focusing on the healing journey rather than the abuse. ‘Untarnished’ is Kathy’s first novel, released in May 2022.
