Kaethe Walther

Kaethe Walther (Col ’18) will publish her debut novel, If We Were Us, in June. The book is a young adult story of friendship, love and identity set at a fictional east coast boarding school. She says she is indebted to Elizabeth Denton and the late Sydney Blair for their thoughtful comments and wise advice. 

If We Were Us: 

Everyone at the prestigious Bexley School believes that Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael are meant to be….that it’s just a matter of time until they realize that they are actually in love.

When Luke Morrissey shows up on the Bexley campus his presence immediately shakes things up. Charlie and Luke are drawn to each other the moment they meet, giving Sage the opportunity to steal away to spend time with Charlie’s twin brother, Nick.

But Charlie is afraid of what others will think if he accepts that he has much more than a friendship with Luke. And Sage fears that things with Nick are getting too serious too quickly. The duo will need to rely on each other and their lifelong friendship to figure things out with the boys they love.
