Meet the Author

Meet the Author: Kathy Lette 'Best Laid Plans' Kathy Lette is a celebrated and outspoken comic writer who has an inimitable take on serious current issues. She first achieved success as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, which was made into a major film and TV mini series. Much has been written of late of the difficulties facing parents of autistic children with one recent study linking the stress involved with parenting children on the spectrum to that of a combat soldier. But what happens when these children grow up? What happens when they want to have a relationship? How does a parent navigate that minefield? Kathy Lette explores this taboo topic in her latest novel, Best Laid Plans. Written in Kathy's witty style, it shines a light on a previously undiscussed subject.
