Something a little different this week as host Pamela Cook chats to novelist and memoir writer Kathryn Abdul-Baki about her memoir Dancing into the Light, a beautiful story of growing up between two cultures and coming to grips with grief. Kathryn was born in Washington, DC to a Palestinian father and an American mother, and grew up in Iran, Kuwait, Beirut, and Jerusalem, where she attended Arabic, British and American schools. After working as a journalist and a features writer for an English weekly newspaper in Bahrain, she turned to writing fiction. Her published works include a collection of short stories, four novels and her recently released memoir.  Kathryn's love of dance informs her memoir, and she chats to Pam about her writing process, bringing the story to life through the use of fiction techniques, and so much more. Sit back, grab a cuppa, pop on your walking shoes, whatever it is that you do while you listen to rights for women and enjoy this chat with Catherine.    Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) - Celebrating Women's Voices With Catherine Abdul-Baki(0:07:07) - Journey to Becoming a Writer(0:20:45) - Expat Life in Middle East(0:34:02) - Love of Dance and Music Inherited(0:39:46) - Unexpected Journey   SHOW NOTES: Writes4Women www.writes4women.com Facebook @writes4women Twitter / Instagram @w4wpodcast   W4W Patreon https://www.writes4women.com/support-us-on-patreon   Kathryn Abdul Baki Website : click  here Facebook: click here Instagram: click here   Pamela Cook www.pamelacook.com.au Facebook: click here Twitter: click here  Instagram: click hereSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/writes4women?fan_landing=trueSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
