Leddy is a graduate of Boston College and is currently pursuing an MSW at Columbia University in advanced clinical practice and public policy. In 2019, she won the New York Times Modern Love college essay contest for an essay about grieving her sister, Kait. Her work has appeared in the New York Times and Parents, as well as other publications. She is based in New York City, and "The Perfect Other" is her first book.
Since Kyleigh’s birth, she and her sister Kait were inseparable. But as Kait entered adolescence, her personality began to change. The bright, once-effervescent teen, who had dreamed of a modelling career, began lashing out emotionally and physically. When Kait was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia, the family was forced to cope with a new reality. But Kait’s mental health continued to spiral downward. Then she disappeared. Plagued with unanswered questions, but buoyed by the incredible love they shared. Kyleigh seeks answers, continuing to wonder how she can find peace and meaning without the guiding light that was her sister.
