Together We Are Normal

Together We Are Normal is a memoir written by Kathryn Scheldt and her partner, John Dowdney.

According to Frye Gaillard, writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, “It is the story of a love that flourished and flamed out against the turbulent, turned-on backdrop of the 1960s and 1970s, and then rekindled in a late-life second chance that many of us might envy.”

“Kathryn and John each share the story in their own particular voices. Searingly honest, graceful, and resonant.”

“…passionate, adventurous, and profound…”

Kirkus Reviews

Together We Are Normal takes the reader on a stirring literal and psychological journey from the sixties to the present, crisscrossing the US to Europe and Africa, following the authors from exuberant youth to sage maturity. A tour de force of love and loss, laughter and tears, with an enduring passion for art and nature and beauty.”

“The book is like gravity, pulling you through to the finish. It is an intimate celebration and journey of love . . . reality . . . harsh reality . . . reality . . . and back to love.”
