Kristin Louise Duncombe's books speak to a broad audience of women who struggle to invent the lives they yearn for, and provide a narrative blueprint for finding meaning and purpose. Her award-winning memoirs chronicle the journey of an American woman who gives up everything for love...and learns the hard way that love is never enough. Both TRAILING and FIVE FLIGHTS UP are renowned in the global community for exposing the identity loss and relational breakdown that often comes with the expat experience. Her newest book is OBJECT: A Memoir of Childhood Abuse and a Shocking Cover-Up at the Highest Ranks of Government.

Kristin is a psychotherapist and life coach based in Paris. She is the mother of two young adults, and two kitties named Olive and Gaspard.
