Between The Lines: A Memoir of Discovery, Acceptance, and My Life with ADHD & RSD
Catherine McNamara’s Between the Lines is a hauntingly beautiful memoir of a neurodivergent woman unraveling the threads of her life—childhood wonder, parental neglect, grief, and the late discovery of her ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria at 59. From a Florida beach where coquina shells spark magic to a hospital room where she vows authenticity as her mother dies, Catherine’s journey is a “constellation of memory”—non-linear, lyrical, and raw. Through waves, spiderwebs, and the spaces between musical notes, she confronts the pain of invisibility, the weight of motherhood, and the courage to forgive herself. A story of resilience and self-acceptance, this memoir will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt too much, too soon, and longed to be seen.
Red Lights And Grace in the Rearview Mirror
Some moments split you.
The drive to the hospital was one of them.
These two chapters mark the shift—when denial gave way to truth, and I began to understand what grace really is.
Not loud. Not grand.
But present—in the space between.
Thank you for reading.
This is where it begins.
The first chapters trace the quiet, tangled threads of childhood, sensitivity, survival, and searching.
Moments that seemed ordinary at the time, but were shaping everything that would come next.
Thank you for reading.
