Kate Troll: Alaskan Author • Adventurer • Activist
Kate Troll is Alaskan writer who unites conservation, politics, outdoor adventure, and love of wild landscapes into speaking, nonfiction writing and columns. But she recently was gifted an incredible true story that has wonderfully expanded her writing craft. She went looking for a possible half-sibling and found two FULL siblings.
To make this more than just a discovery story, at key points, she reflects on social topics relevant to today. For example, ever wonder how much of our political ideology comes from our genetics? The result is a soul-satisfying exploration of the threads that weave through each of our lives and through our families across time and through generations. All in Due Time is richly descriptive, fast-paced, and layered with wisdom, humor and inspiration.
All In Due Time
A Memoir of Siblings, Geneology, Secrets and Love
Kate Troll’s frank personal memoir proves that Tolstoy was wrong — All happy families are not alike. The six talented, close-knit Troll siblings shared a loving, fun-filled childhood and remain best of pals as adults. Turns out, there is something (or I should say someone?) missing. And that is only half of it. All in Due Time is full of surprises and puzzles, but mostly it made me wish I were a long-lost Troll.
— Heather Lende, Alaska State Writer Laureate and author of If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name
An emotionally satisfying story with a charming cast of characters and a big-hearted perspective, All in Due Time is a fitting memoir for our era of genetic surprises. Unlike many memoirs on this topic, Troll conveys the sunnier side of digging into dark family secrets, weaving a tale of joy, inclusivity, and empathy.
