Ms. Kennedy grew up in the Bay Area and attended Mills College where she received a degree in Asian Studies. She sold real estate for eight years before splitting with her husband and moving to San Francisco to start an events business that developed sponsorship for the Bay Bridge 50th Birthday Celebration, the Bay Bridge Permanent Lighting Campaign, In Concert Against AIDS, and the annual Chinese New Year Celebration. Compelled to write her family's unique and moving story, Ms. Kennedy began working on Approaching Neverland in 2004. The book was named a finalist in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards and won first prize for non-fiction from the 2008 San Francisco Writer's Conference. She has been reunited with her husband for 19 years and lives in the East Bay with their younger son, chocolate lab, three horses and their older son's annoying cat.
