“I’m happiest when readers tell me my novels helped them get through a hard time, gave them hope or helped them find escape from daily life,” said Kilpatrick. “Bad things happen in my stories, just as they do in life, but I hope my readers come away with a sense that there’s hope, and that deep down most people are good—at the center of ‘Nobody’s Perfect,’ Vivian’s resilience is definitely put to the test.”
Writing since fourth grade, Kilpatrick parlayed her youthful creative passions into the focus for graduating summa cum laude as an English major at the University of Tennessee. After professional stints as teacher, earning a master’s degree in professional writing from Kennesaw State University and starting a family, she wrote and published her debut novel “The Happy Hour Choir” in 2015.
