  Kate Vaiden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kate Vaiden ( 1986) is a novel by Reynolds Price about a white woman from the American South who, after a teenage pregnancy, abandons her son shortly after giving birth to him and who does not get in touch with him for four decades.
Kate is born in 1927 and grows up as an only child in Greensboro, North Carolina with her young parents Dan and Frances Vaiden.
At 16, Kate escapes her surroundings and everything that might remind her of Gaston by stealing off to Norfolk, Virginia, where her cousin, Walter Porter, is living with his orphaned "friend" from back home, Douglas Lee.

 Travels With a Dangerous Woman
Kate tells us before the first two pages are finished that she abruptly abandoned a baby 40 years ago ''while he was down for a nap,'' and that when she was a child her father killed her mother and then himself.
Instead, Kate is a wholly convincing girl and a not improbable woman, her growing up before and during World War II informed by a mass of unselfconscious detail, and the town of Macon made visible under dust and midday quiet.

 KATE VAIDEN
Kate Vaiden is left parentless as a child when her father fatally shoots her mother and then himself.
As an adult, Kate attests, "I'd caused their deaths." She isn't the only one in such a predicament: her mother's mother died in childbirth, and the father of her child was raised an orphan.
I had a little bit of a hard time relating to Kate's decisions in the book, but I suppose that is often the mark of a good character-- she is not transparent and your every-day kind of person.

Kate wanted to be loved for herself, yet when faced with opportunities, as with her son and Whitfield, she ran from the responsibility.
Kate's most vivid memory of her encounters is the feel of her wrist on the back of the guy's neck.
I cannot relate taking that to the extreme Kate did, especially in regards to her child, but she was a child herself when she gave birth and hadn't had the time to deal with all the feelings of abandonment that accompany losing a parent..much less both parents at the same time.
