The author exclaimed, “I want them to know they’re not alone. I felt alone.”

Despite this feeling, Katherine has always been close to her siblings. Her relationship with her younger sister, Christina is especially popular. Both sisters have a small age gap and therefore grew up almost like twins. Although their personalities clashed – Katherine was more composed and responsible while Christina was more energetic.
