"Well written adventure thriller about the daughter of an American diplomat getting accustomed to living in Kenya. Kate Bariletti deftly introduces facts about Kenya, while sprinkling lovely descriptions about the people and the culture. Add in intrigue and political issues for realism and you get a powerful picture of African life. The story is insightful as it is exciting. A wonderful read for YA that will keep them engaged and able to discuss the well defined and realistic picture of African life".

"Loved this short story by Kate Bariletti. Makes you ponder on the true love between two people and how the bonds we form stay with us, no matter what has separated us from one another.
Anyone who has lost a love one will understand In Touch".

"It should be on every secondary teacher's book shelf! I really enjoy reading a story that takes place in Kenya! All new information for me."
I have a theory about that is a collection of poems by Kate Bariletti. These poems represent Kate’s processes in resolving intellectual and personal conflicts, acknowledging the power of nature, and negotiating loss and grief.
Her global travels and exposure to various cultures impact her perceptions. The collection is divided into three sections: Elusive Hypothesis, Experimentation, and Conclusion, indicating how the poet perceives their contents.
