Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Catherine Gildiner is a New York-born author and former clinical psychologist whose career has joined memoir, literary storytelling, and therapeutic observation. Born in Lewiston, she drew early imaginative material from the Niagara frontier and later described the public library as one of the decisive institutions of her childhood; it was there, through unrestricted reading and the example of Jo March, that writing first became imaginable as a vocation. Her education moved through literature before turning toward psychology, and after coming to Canada she completed graduate study in Toronto, eventually building a long private clinical practice that lasted about twenty-five years.
