In awe of her DNA, at war with her anxiety and at odds with her heartstrings, author Kaitlyn Wylde is never at a loss for words. In her new collection, The Head, The Heart & The Home, she gives her listeners orchestra seats to a timeless drama of love and intimacy, and struggling with the absence of them. Under the white-knuckled grip of anxiety, the chainmail blanket of despair and the windless knock of heartache, Wylde thrives as a storyteller. Together, these seventeen pieces map out the root of a voice. And while this collection, like most by Wylde, is extremely personal, listeners will have no trouble finding glimpses of themselves around every corner. In fact, it's inescapable.

Whether she's acting in a film, taking photographs, writing comedy or penning her next lovesick poem, she's happy to have the opportunity to tell a tale and share her life. Her willingness to open herself up to her audience has become a defining attribute to her budding career.
