The Story of Red Tail Hawk by Kathryn Morini

Kathryn Morini wrote this book in honor of her sister Mandy who always wanted to fly like a red tail hawk. Unfortunately, her time to fly was cut short after a 10 year addiction to opiods. The irony is that her sister was beautiful, smart, and a hard worker who loved to write and help other people. Kathryn herself is a nurse who found herself blind sided, along with rest of the medical profession, by the ferocity of the opioid crisis in America's hospitals. Mandy always wanted to be an author and got her wish as Kathryn wrote this book with her, using Mandy's journal notes. Kathryn is open to doing presentations to help get the word out about this problem and solutions that have been set in place in recent years. She can be contacted at nursekatier@gmail.com.
