Keats was put into hiding after her former collaborator threatened her
life. Law enforcement officials urged her to change her identity. Her
name was legally changed after a harrowing experience which culminated
in a jury trial in Oakland, California. In order to protect herself,
she was forced her to give up her career. When she could no longer work
in the music industry she did not lament the loss of time. She began
working behind the scenes of the film industry. In 2005 Keats
discovered that the man who had threatened her life for over three
decades had finally died. It was then that Kathryn Keats could come out
of hiding. Since then, she has reclaimed her past and music. She has

Keats is no ordinary animal. When most would be happy to finally live
their life in peace Kathryn is driven to share her story and teach
others how to save their lives, reclaim their dreams, and live again.
