Kathalyn Pokley was born in Highland Park, Michigan, in 1952. She was raised in Alpena, Michigan, the majority of her life. When an opportunity arose to attend Ferris State University of Big Rapids, Michigan, she took the chance to leave the small northern town for a future career in dental assisting. She has managed several dental offices and worked in the dental field for 35 years. She is married to her husband of 32 years and has one son. She currently makes her home in the Detroit metro area. She has enjoyed writing, baking and painting as her main hobbies for many years. This is her first book. Her desire to write this book came after the tragic loss of her best friend, Sandy.
“My vision for the book turned out exactly as I had hoped. Everyone was supportive throughout the process. Answering the many questions that took me through to completion. The final product is getting wonderful acceptance and praise. I would recommend Outskirts Press to any new author who chooses to self publish. The only negative was the initial cost did not really include, for me anyway, the total amount that would be required to finalize my book. Many thanks to Jennifer, Andrea and the coaches for making this a success.”

Saying Good-bye To Sandy
Two crazy ’70s girls met and befriended during the era of peace and love. Their longtime friendship blossomed into a “Forever Friendship” of 35 years. Through the years, good and bad times never altered the calls and laughter shared by these two friends. The signs of the year prior to 2005 drew these friends close together. Can the signs really tell what is coming? Many a visit involved a trip to Northern Michigan and a visit to West Branch. Always having a good breakfast or fish dinner at Sandy’s Restaurant. Sandy was the owner of this pink, small town, family restaurant. One day in September of 2005 all would change forever, for her many friends, customers and family. This is her story and her final fight for life as told by her “Forever Best Friend” Kathy. The journal of hope is to honor my friend and give praise to my God. Through life and death friends remain always with us in spirit and prayers, sending signs to keep us close.Outskirts Press Review
