Kate Smith has worked in international health and foreign affairs for more than 20 years in difficult and demanding roles in Australia and around the world with the UN, international organisations and government. However her greatest challenge came in 2014 while living in the Solomon Islands when her husband died suddenly, leaving her a widow with three small children. Love Lives on - Always is the book she wanted to find for her children to explain the loss of their father and provide them with the hope that even though we may lose the ones we love - our love for each other will always live on.
