Kim McMillen

American writer · author of When I Loved Myself Enough (St. Martin's Press, 2001)

Kim McMillen wrote short first-person reflections on self-acceptance, each beginning “When I loved myself enough…” The collection began, in her publisher’s words, as one woman’s gift to the world — handmade and handed out to friends. She did not live to see how far the words travelled; after her death her daughter Alison McMillen kept making the books and brought the manuscript to St. Martin’s Press, which published it in 2001.
