About the Author:
Kim Malchuk has called Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada home for almost 50 years. She is the youngest of seven children (five girls and two boys). Being raised in a dysfunctional, fearful home environment, by an unbalanced single-mother, childhood memories were not happy ones for Kim. She is thankful for being the last born and states that had it not been for the love and protection her older siblings provided her, she is not sure where she would be today. As a young child, something told her that life was better than what was being offered to her and held on to that hope that adult life would be happier. Kim s education and professional career never prepared her for the journey that she now finds herself on as a writer, as a story-teller, and shining as the motivational speaker she truly is. Whether it is in her writing or in her presentations, Kim s down-to-earth approach, easy to understand analogies, and humour about the difficulties in life that we all face, is where she is able to connect with both her readers and listeners alike. If you ever have the opportunity to either see Kim in person or tune into any one of her radio interviews, you will be drawn to her immediately. Kim captivates audiences with her contagious enthusiasm, high energy and fun sense of humour that consistently leaves people wanting more. She is best known for her inspiring and refreshing 'why not now?' philosophy that empowers her audiences and clients to stop holding back and start living the life of their dreams.
Review:
Your book is perhaps one of the most powerful life lesson books I have ever read. I am a strong believer of the ripple effect and I feel you have changed the course of many lives including those who have not even read the book. Thank you so much for touching the lives you do. Very inspirational! - Brynda --Reader Testimonials
Winnipegger's Story Holds Universal Truths. In her memoir, Tasting Rain, Winnipeg author Kim Malchuk invites us inside her life to talk about how she coped with some major losses. The themes within Kim's story aren't unique, but she is painfully honest in describing her life, and her honesty gives her writing strength. Most readers will be able to relate to many of the questions she asks about her life's purpose and appreciate the answers she discovers. --Health Section from MSOS
