Katherine Center’s standalone novels follow women facing unexpected life changes — a new single mother finding her footing, a widow rebuilding on a Texas goat farm, or a firefighter starting over in a new city. Each book works as its own self-contained story with no recurring characters between them.
Her earlier novels like The Bright Side of Disaster and Everyone is Beautiful focus on young motherhood and family dynamics. Starting with How to Walk Away in 2018, her books took on higher-concept premises while keeping the same emotional core, a shift that brought her wider commercial success. The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger both feature heroines in unusual situations — a bodyguard falling for her client and a woman with face blindness navigating a new relationship.
