Katherine Brady has devoted her life to the field of child abuse prevention. In 1979 she wrote and successfully published her autobiography, "Father's Days, A True Story of Incest," published under a pseudonym, Katherine Brady. "Father's Day's" was the first memoir written in the United States in the first person on the topic of incest. It became a New York Times best seller in the 1980's. Consequently Katherine Brady received a good deal of notoriety and was on several national television shows with her parents talking about her experience and advocating for the right's of abused children. One of the most acknowledged lines from her book was the statement "You are not alone and you are not to blame." Her book afforded her the ability to speak on the college lecture circuit for over ten years. She was also an employee of Covenant House which is a Catholic chairty in New York City providing social services to abused children and their families. Advocacy work did not end for Katherine Brady with child abuse prevention. She has been an active participant in both the feminist movement as well as equal rights for Gays and Lesbians in this country. Katherine Brady continues her speak out now in a time when the numbers of victims soars in America and she can add that one voice of expert support so often needed in families, in the media and in court. Today, Katherine Brady has become an entrepreneur expanding her interests and activities to the creation, production and acting for television, film and digital projects. She resides in The Hamptons, New York and her hobbies include real estate investments, travel and amateur pilot lessons. She is the proud grandmother of one granddaughter and three grandsons.
