About the author
Kathryn Taubert’s story offers hope and guidance for anyone starting over after the death of a spouse. From the depths of despair, this twice-widowed, retired 57-year-old widow with Tourette syndrome and a self-described “couch potato,” built a new life as an athlete, jazz recording artist, international volunteer, and successful author. Overcoming her sometimes crippling shyness from growing up with undiagnosed Tourette Syndrome, Taubert’s story of love, loss and rebuilding her life after multiple losses is as much an adventure story filled with surprise, humor and reflection as it is a primer for the grieving. Included are checklists of things to do for others experiencing bereavement.
Taubert's first book "YEVU (White Woman): My Five Weeks with the Ewe Tribe of Ghana," is recommended reading for international volunteers by The Global Volunteer Network. Her two internationally recognized CDs ("Where Can I Go Without You" and "Somewhere in Time" are available on her website www.kathryntaubert.com. Taubert's weekly blog for the "Naples Daily News" can be found on www.naplesnews.com under Blogs.
Presently living in Florida on a tree-laden acre of "Old Florida" paradise, Taubert writes for two newspapers, volunteers on behalf of Florida springs and river conservation, tends her garden, swims in a nearby river, and SCUBA dives in the Caribbean whenever she can.
