Kitty Beer, Human Scale

"Kitty Beer writes from a place of deep intelligence and honesty. Her characters are vivid, complete, and alive. The men are tough, the women are tougher. Her empathy, her passion for humanity, and for this planet we call Earth, is deeply powerful. What we are left with is a promise of hope. If we care enough."

Amelia Campbell, Actress and Playwright

"It's 2062, and Boston is mostly under water. In response to climate change chaos, an authoritian theocracy is tearing families apart and demolishing human rights. How will love survive? A futuristic eco-thriller with visceral punch. With the environment as character, Human Scale is wonderfully evocative and deeply moving, with great psychological insight and stunning imagery. A fully realized world, masterfully done."

Paula de Fougerolles, Ph.D
