CASTLE ROCK, Colo., June 4, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- For author Kitty Wise, telling her own story will hopefully teach other women how to rescue their true selves and create a better life. In her autobiography, Behold, The Power of the Wind (now available through 1stBooks), Wise writes about how she reclaimed herself after many years.
Within this book is a trilogy about solving one's issues as a modern, independent woman in the western United States. After a tragedy struck when she was 11, she turned against herself. Instead of visualizing her "happily after ever" life, she writes that she was committing a slow suicide.
After looking for an older husband to protect her and giving herself to business ventures that ultimately began five successful corporations, she threw herself into her work. She kept not only herself but her four children in the background. Wise began attending school, writing, teaching and learning, sparking an enormous change. She unveiled the identity and values that were hidden for so long.
Behold, The Power of the Wind includes descriptions of how Wise was more than a survivor in a "Good Ole Boys Society." In her own words, the book is "a healing process that creates the mentality to be more than just a survivor."
It includes interviews with notable Wyoming men, a nonfiction creative novella and the story of growing up in a family that inherited five children. She teaches women how to become who they say they are and not just perpetuate an illusion.
Born in 1947, Wise lives in Colorado. She has written numerous other books, including A Lost Soul (as K. Wise), Somewhere Beyond Tomorrow and Teaching Parents To Be Good Teachers: First Do No Harm (all available through 1stBooks).
