Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Kay Bratt's Publications

Kay Bratt's fiction and her life's work point in the same direction. She has spent years advocating for children — serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for abused and neglected children in Georgia and working with underprivileged kids in the US and overseas — and she has been open about writing as the way she processed a painful past of her own. That lived experience is why resilience sits at the center of her women's fiction, and why her books have found readers in translation in many languages.

The three novels here form her By the Sea series, published from 2019 to 2021: True to Me through Into the Blue. It's a compact set, and an honest sample of a writer whose empathy is plainly earned.
