Debut Memoir Coming Soon!

Seven Stitches in Neverland: A Daughter, Her Homeless Mother, and the Peter Pan Costumes that Mended the Past

A Memoir by Donna Stevens Kehl

Hello Friends!

My name is Donna, and I’d like to thank you for visiting my website! I am a wife, mother, educator, and author. For the last four years, I’ve been writing my debut memoir, Seven Stitches in Neverland: A Daughter, Her Homeless Mother, and the Peter Pan Costumes that Mended the Past. It is nearing completion at 80,000 words, chronicling my journey of rescuing my estranged mother from homelessness while directing a middle school production of Disney’s Peter Pan the Musical, Jr. My story weaves themes of trauma, reconciliation, and intergenerational healing, illuminating the complexities of homelessness, family estrangement, and the redemptive power of creativity and forgiveness. The anticipated completion date is January 2026; inquiries from agents are welcome.
