Katrina Kittle's fourth novel, "The Blessings of the Animals" is the story of a marriage. As the book opens Cami Anderson's marriage is falling apart. Anderson, a veterinarian, seeks refuge in her work. She discovers that her animal companions can be more dependable and affectionate than some of her human companions have been.

Katrina Kittle is a resident of Dayton. In this interview she discussed her writing career and how it has been nurtured and sustained through her long association with the Antioch Writer's Workshop in Yellow Springs. This was Kittle's third visit to the Book Nook on WYSO.
