For readers navigating grief, spiritual seekers questioning the nature of love and the afterlife, or anyone who's ever whispered I miss you into the void--this book will speak to you.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, Joan Didion, and Thich Nhat Hanh, A Dime to Say I Love You offers not answers, but resonance--a reminder that pain is not the opposite of love, but its echo.

When Kathryn Henry lost her wife Lisa to a rare, aggressive cancer, she was thrust into a profound sense of loss that threatened to consume her. What followed was not simply mourning, it was spiritual reckoning. A Dime to Say I Love You is a searingly honest memoir of love and loss, and a shared journey of spiritual excavation and growth. With unflinching vulnerability and hard-won clarity, Henry invites readers into the sacred space of their journey--and the unexpected transformation that came along the way.

This is not your typical memoir. Grounded in the raw reality of terminal illness and deeply personal moments of love and caring, Henry writes with a voice forged by trauma, resilience, and deep spiritual inquiry. The story unfolds against a backdrop of shared adventures, from renovating homes to hiking in Japan, where even the smallest discoveries became reminders of Lisa's enduring presence. Along the way, dimes appear--small silver tokens that become metaphysical breadcrumbs, pointing the way toward connection beyond death.

A Dime to Say I Love You is a moving testament to the enduring power of love and a reminder that even in the darkness of grief, light can be found. It is a book for anyone seeking comfort, inspiration, or a deeper connection to their own journey.

Blending memoir with meditative practice, Henry's story is both intimate and expansive. Each chapter includes introspective prompts that invite the reader to reflect, breathe, and listen to their own inner wisdom.

"A Dime to Say I Love You is a compelling testament to the transformative power of love and the indomitable human spirit, inspiring readers to find meaning and resilience in their own lives, even in the face of loss." --The Book Commentary

Author: Kathryn Henry is a writer, spiritual seeker, and business leader whose life has been shaped by blue-collar beginnings, executive success, and profound personal challenges and loss. After a dedicated career leading global teams at lululemon, Gap, and Levi Strauss & Co., she stepped away from corporate life to honor a promise made to her late wife: to live fully, love deeply, and tell the truth of her experience.

Her debut memoir, A Dime to Say I Love You, is an unflinching account of heartbreak, abuse, and grief —and the transformative journey into hope, compassion and spiritual awakening that follows. Drawing on meditation, mindfulness, and wisdom from diverse traditions, her work resonates with those seeking meaning beyond the visible world.

She now serves as an advisor, mentor, and independent board director while continuing her journey of self-realization. When not traveling, writing or reading, she can be found golfing, connecting with family and friends, meditating under the California sun, or walking with her beloved dog through the beauty of the Napa Valley—eyes and heart open for the next dime.
