About K E Garland
Katherin has been married for 20 years. By year seven, she had two perfect daughters, a dog, and a house; yet, unhappiness with herself and her marriage oftentimes seeped in. For the next decade, she met different women, who seemed to have similar marriage experiences. Some were college educated and some were not. Some were old enough to be her mother, while others were her age. She met women who married one husband and others who had walked down the aisle several times. No matter their backgrounds, these women had a few things in common. They were unhappy, they'd managed to keep it hidden from other friends and family members, or they were advised against their conscience by friends and family. As Katherin found her way to happiness, she felt compelled to give other unhappy wives a voice so they would know that they are not alone and they don't have to live in sadness. Consequently, The Unhappy Wife was conceived as a collection of short stories. Although stories are fictionalized, each is inspired by true marital events. With this book, Katherin hopes to not only help wives feel less alone, but also to inspire them to make healthier and intuitive decisions.
