From Dr. Britt Terry, SWU Associate Professor of English:
Kristen Knight Gault, SWU almuna (’07), announces the publication of her book, Straight to the Point: Beating the Cancer that Stuck Me. Gault’s book chronicles her spiritual journey through her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from breast cancer.
Gault was diagnosed at the age of 37, with no breast cancer history in her family. Shortly after learning this news, Gault began a blog to share her feelings and struggles with friends in social media; her book is a direct outgrowth from these posts. As an elementary school teacher, she also encourages students to write about important events in their lives and has shared her cancer story with them, modeling how to write a memoir.
Gault credits her faith, family and friends for seeing her through this trying time. She looks forward to being able to continue to support the needs of others just as God tells states in Deuteronomy 31:6, “He will never leave us to fight alone.”
The book is available through Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088SHBN6C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_bwYWEbSAGG7PR.
Gault is a second grade teacher at Bells Crossing Elementary school in Simpsonville, SC and is a member of First Baptist Church in Fountain Inn. Her husband Jeremy and their son Jett live in Fountain Inn.
