Author of the Born That Way Series
Susan Ketchen trained as a family therapist (and an accountant, and a financial policy analyst, and a bank teller, and a care giver, and . . . well, you get the picture) but the backbone of her life has always been her writing. She is the Canadian author of the four-volume Born That Way Series, featuring a 14-year old girl with the genetic condition Turner Syndrome, and a troublesome interest in horses. Susan’s short stories have appeared in Miss Chatelaine magazine and in the anthology “What She Wrote”.
