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.
