About The Book

“Altered Paths: Accepting My Choices with God’s Grace” is the honest journey of a girl who grew up in Huber Heights, Ohio made some bad decisions, and carried those choices with her into womanhood.

Kathleen C Kent tells it like it happened—raw, sometimes awkward, sometimes funny, and often heartbreaking.

From her early days of playing in the yard and riding her banana bike, to walking away from home at seventeen with only a cactus and a bag of clothes, this is a story about missteps, hard lessons, abuse, drugs, teen pregnancy, and getting lost in the noise of other people’s voices.

But it’s also about finding her way back through motherhood, grace, and a God who kept showing up, even when she wasn’t looking. With each chapter, Kathleen C Kent displays different phases of her life, sharing the real stuff most people are too scared to say out loud.

It’s not just a story—it’s an embodiment of what happens when you face the truth, forgive yourself, and let God in.
