Praise for SLEEPWALKER (Skyhorse Press, pub date Sept. 8th, 2015):
“Kathleen Frazier has a story to tell and she knows how to tell it. I read it in one day…just couldn’t put it down. It’s a terrifying, compelling and fascinating tale that takes us deep into the horrors of sleepwalking and then reveals to us how she managed to end a twenty year nightmare.” –Ellen Burstyn, Actress, writer, teacher
"Kathleen Frazier is a gifted storyteller. In addition to providing insight into what chronic sleepwalking is like firsthand, this story also tells of a dysfunctional family, alcoholism, heartbreak, and tragedy. But there is love, light, laughter, and, above all, hope. This book will keep you awake and alert to the end." —Malachy McCourt, New York Times bestselling author of A Monk Swimming
"Kathleen Frazier's Sleepwalker is a powerful and poignant account of her awakening from a long night of fear and self-doubt into the light of recovery and self-awareness. Her soulful combination of insight and unflinching honesty fills every page. This is a book that will inspire as well as enlighten." - Peter Quinn, American Book Award winner
"Kathleen Frazier's memoir SLEEPWALKER is an amazingly honest, heartbreaking, haunting but ultimately illuminating study of the secrets behind our slumber and our dreams. A dazzling debut." — Susan Shapiro, author of Lighting Up, Unhooked & What's Never Said
“Nocturnal clouds haunt each page like a storm threatening. Well-observed and Irishly funny, mulish and ghoulish and death defying, darkly clangorous and boozy yet ultimately sobering, Frazier's eye-opening memoir will have you laughing nervously all night long. Riveting!” —Patrick Tracey, award-winning author of Stalking Irish Madness: Searching for the Roots of My Family's Schizophrenia
“A brave and harrowing story, told straight from the heart, full of hope and inspiration.” —Mary Pat Kelly, bestselling author of Galway Bay and Of Irish Blood, director of Proud
"Powerful and poignant—honest and harrowing—a remarkable narrative of one woman’s struggle with decades long sleepwalking. It is about inherited loss and terror, family secrets, near-death experiences, but also about courage and in the end, it's a love story and a life-affirming journey." —Seamus Scanlon, author of As Close As You'll Ever Be
“Sleepwalker is a brave, moving, frightening, and ultimately hopeful memoir. Frazier offers the reader a fascinating and deeply personal glimpse into the interior world of a sleepwalker.” —Alice Eve Cohen, award-winning author of The Year My Mother Came Back and What I Thought I Knew
“A vivid and engrossing saga that takes us from the comforting xenophobia of an Irish-American family to the competitive alleys of New York City's theatre world; all the while Ms. Frazier is haunted by the demons of sleepwalking. This is a story of redemption and triumph - you find yourself rooting for the author through every line of this inspiring book.” –Larry Kirwan, author of Green Suede Shoes: An Irish-American Odyssey
