ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Catcher, Caught, Sarah Collins Honenberger’s third novel, was inspired by her desire to reconnect today’s teenagers with the voice of J. D. Salinger’s Holden Caulfield through a narrative based on the true-life story of a teenage boy suffering from leukemia whose parents refuse to allow him to receive traditional treatment. After penning Catcher, Caught, Honenberger fought her own personal battle with an aggressive cancer. With the cancer now in remission, she continues to write about families in crisis from her Virginia river house.
