Real Life: Alaska Girl Thaws In California

By Katrina Wilterding

If you think high school is bad, wait until real life starts.
Real life? What does that mean?
How is love, death, grief, and joy not real life?
So much can happen in just a short time. Four years, the amount of time in high school on average. Four days, the amount of time before astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission walked on the moon after leaving Earth. Four hours, the time it takes to fly from Anchorage to San Francisco. Four seconds, the time it takes to say “I do” on your wedding day. It does not take much to change a life forever. Real Life tells the story of a little over four months in the lives of two high school students. Four months was all it took to rearrange their lives for forever.

Katrina Wilterding began writing while she was in high school in California. Reading and writing have been a considerable part of her life since she was young, reading every chance she could and writing short stories. She grew up in the high desert of California and often visited Tehachapi, where her cousins lived. When she went into high school, she felt that it was just another four years of her life meant to prepare her for college and life after. However, as she watched friends, classmates, and events that happened, it felt like so much more. Real Future is the end of a trilogy of books showing the drastic changes occurring during high school. Katrina graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelors in Liberal Arts and from UAA with an elementary teaching certification. She currently lives in Anchorage, Alaska with her family.
