Unlocking Secrets

Kathe Crawford was barely 31 years old and the mother of two young children when she and her husband received devastating news—information that they agreed to keep secret from everyone in their lives, including their families. As the years passed, this secret weighed heavily on Kathe, even more so as she continued to respect her husband's wishes for more than 20 years after his death. Raising two sons as a single parent, Kathe was determined to build a successful career and a stable home, yet this proved increasingly difficult as her secret became an exhausting facade. For so many years, survival had meant hiding the one thing that she thought would harm herself and her family the most. Then, when she could no longer maintain the protective wall around her heart, she discovered a deeper legacy of keeping secrets that she had inherited from her parents. The only way to heal would be to open herself to her heart and then allow others to see her as she was, without secrets and without pretense.

In her debut memoir, Unlocking Secrets, Kathe Crawford shares her spiritual journey from hiding in the shadows of her secrets to embracing the light of absolute authenticity, learning that self-love is perhaps the most important love story of all.

  • Kathe Crawford has a story unlike no other

    It is riveting. I read it in less than three sittings. It is also transformational. I recommend this to anyone who loves fascinating reading and exceptional transformational journeys. You'll find yourself transforming as well.

  • What an amazing book, story and writer

    I couldn’t stop reading it. It flows very smoothly and shows you how no matter what challenges you face, there’s always a way out. Also, everything that happens in your life is a blessing and it’s up to you to recognize it. It allowed me to deal with and understand my own ‘issues’ and ‘secrets’, and realize that I still have a lot of work in front of me.

  • A tribute to love

    Kathe Crawford spoke and wrote with a bright light of innocence and illumined truth all in the same breath. I'm grateful for the timing of this book release and her brave path towards an open heart. A story of perseverance and an uncovering of the soul. Amazing book. I’ll be ordering more books as gifts to my family and friends. I highly recommend.

  • A beautiful story of strength, courage and perseverance.

    From the moment I started reading Unlocking Secrets: My Journey to an Open Heart, I didn't want to put it down. The author takes us on a journey where heartbreak and disappointment are met with resiliency and determination. At some point in our lives, each of us is likely to come face to face with devastation. Kathe demonstrates for us that it's possible to overcome and thrive after going through the most difficult trials of life. Very well written and easy to read.

  • It truly will free you!

    Kathe's story draws you in right from the 1st page. It penetrates you like you are living this story right beside her, every step of the way. It truly is an inspiration to hear how she so eloquently puts her life on page, every chapter, with such courage, authenticity and truth. We can only be encouraged and moved right to the very core knowing that there is such reverence in living your truth and not hiding behind the past. Have shared it with several friends already who have in turn either been through similar circumstances or needed to open up to the possibility that their past challenges shall not define your life. Living in the light is what this brilliant author is all about....and I am a believer.
