Going On Nine

A Novel

By: Catherine Underhill Fitzpatrick

In the summer of 1956, a girl goes in search of freedom: “Chronicles a time of great change in America . . . will keep you reading long past your bedtime.” —Kelly O’Connor McNees, author of The Island of Doves A child swipes her mother’s engagement ring, snatches her sister’s brand-new nightgown, and runs outside to play “bride.” She soon loses the ring, rips the gown, and, when she gets caught, decides it’s time to pack her suitcase and make a run for it. When the policeman brings her home that night, her parents’ reaction isn’t what she expected. In fact, they tell her to try living at some of her friends’ houses in their little St. Louis suburb, so she can find a better family… What happens next is a summer-long journey in which Grace Mitchell rides shotgun in a Plymouth Belvedere, hunkers in the back of a rattletrap vegetable truck, crawls into a crumbling tunnel, dresses up with a prom queen, and keeps vigil in the bedroom of a molestation victim. There are reasons why Grace remembers the summer of 1956 for the rest of her life. Those are just a few. Through the eyes of a child and the mature woman she becomes, we make the journey with Grace and discover important truths about life, equality, family, and the soul-searching quest for belonging.

A Matter of Happenstance

By: Catherine Underhill Fitzpatrick

The characters vividly jump off the pages and pull you into their lives. Carol S. Cole, Former Features Editor, St. Louis Globe-Democrat An epic ...

Recorder of Deeds: Terrorism and Trauma: A Journalist's Life-Changing Choice on 9/11

By: Catherine Underhill Fitzpatrick

An unflinching account of a journalist who risks everything to report news of terrorism and heroism during one of the darkest days in America. It's September, 2001, and Catherine Fitzpatrick is the fashion writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. One of the perks of her job is to cover Fashion Week in New York City. On the morning of September 11, she's deciding which celebrity-filled parties to attend and which runway shows to cover that day. Then American Airlines Flight 11 with ninety-two souls on board slashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. All Catherine sees on television is a building on fire. She calls her editor. "There's a big fire in a tall building here. Think I should cover it?" The editor, watching the same television coverage, responds, "Go." Then louder, urgently, "Go! GO!" With that emphatic directive, Catherine's life changes forever as she rushes toward danger to gather a minute-by-minute, eye-witness account of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The fallout from that day remains long after the dust and debris are cleared away. Catherine spends the next decade suffering from symptoms of PTSD as she faces the end of her journalism career, the care of aging parents, and siblings as strong-minded and independent as she is. Recorder of Deeds is Catherine Fitzpatrick's remarkable account of terrorism and heroism, hope and despair, shame and redemption, PTSD and perseverance.
