Chat with local author Elizabeth Kemp

An incident in her current life pulls a former hostage negotiator back into her past life.

When a lifeguard’s body is found at the local pool where Tierney lap swims daily, the former Dublin hostage negotiator—now a stay-at-home mom in Silicon Valley—is drawn back into a life she thought she’d left behind.

As she navigates the isolating cliques at her kindergartener’s elite private school and the shadow of the 2007 tech-industry backdating scandal, the M**der investigation connects to an event in her past.

Struggling with survivor’s guilt and the pressures of motherhood, Tierney must confront not only the mystery at hand but the false assumptions we make about others—and ourselves.

Elizabeth Kemp was born and raised in California, and lives in Silicon Valley with her high school sweetheart husband. She studied public relations at the University of Southern California, earned an MBA from Santa Clara University, and led a successful career in high-tech marketing communications before becoming a stay-at-home mom. That decision helped rekindle her love of reading for fun, and enabled her to pursue writing full-time. When away from her laptop, Elizabeth enjoys lap swimming, hiking, pickleball, and golf. Tread Lightly is her first novel.
