A biography by Marion Osgood
For nearly twenty years until her tragic death in 1994, Kathy Keay engaged, challenged and inspired the Christian world, speaking, writing and debating on a myriad of subjects. Using Kathy's own writing, including personal diaries and letters, and interviews with those closest to her, Marion Osgood reveals the intense inner struggles that accompanied her achievements as she endeavoured to follow her God-given calling in the midst of human frailty.

What People Are Saying
As Dean I work to enable the stories of individual lives to find their significance in God's great story. Kathy Keay's story of longing, of beauty, of artistry and of passion is itself a vivid patchwork. I rejoice that the story I knew only in part is now laid out in its vulnerability and glory. And I thank the Lord in whose presence Kathy is now fully known.

This is a moving story, gently and sensitively told, of a woman used by God to touch so many lives. I didn't always agree with her, but she left an indelible memory. You will find that we all still gain from this solitary, yet singular life.
