NKU English alum Kathleen Spada has just released a new book! WARD: A Memoir of Ghosts, Grandmothers, and Little Girls Who Disappear.

“Kathleen Spada weaves a haunting, lyrical memoir of secrets, mystery, and, ultimately, ​self-discovery. Through unforgettable characters and layered family histories, she traces the unseen currents that tether one generation to the next. An intimate meditation on identity and inheritance, this beautifully told story reveals how we come to understand our own lives, the people around us, and those who came before. As Spada notes, “I’ve done my best to listen.”
