Starting life in an orphanage, Catherine DeVrye was adopted by loving parents in Calgary, Canada. When she was 21 they died of cancer within a year of each other. An only child, Catherine packed her bags for Australia, arriving jobless and near penniless.

This led to a lifelong journey to find her place in the world. She waited tables, taught school, worked on a mine site and went on to become a public servant. She then joined IBM, who sent her to postings to Toyko, Hong Kong and New York.  Named Australian Executive Woman of the Year, Catherine found herself dining with princes, prime minister and Olympic athletes. She also cycled over the Andes, dived with sharks and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

Yet, still something was missing. So eventually Catherine decided to search for her biological parents and discovered her Canadian champion cowboy father. And that's when her adventures really began...

Catherine DeVrye was born in Canada and lives in Sydney when she's not travelling the world sharing her life experiences. Her previous bestselling books include HOPE HAPPENS! and HOT LEMON & HONEY. Serendipity Road was previously published in Australia as WHO SAYS I CAN`T and was shortlisted for the country's National Biography Prize.
