Kathleen Tessaro is an American novelist. In 2023, Katie Holmes co-wrote, directed, and starred in a film adaptation of Tessaro's sixth book, Rare Objects. Personal Life She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and attended the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, where she was a member of their drama program. Tessaro married pianist James Rhodes in 2001 and has a child with him. They were divorced by 2009 and that year Tessaro launched a lawsuit to prevent the publication of parts of Rhodes' biography; she believed it would be detrimental to their child's mental health to read of the sexual abuse Rhodes suffered as a child. Rhodes v OPO was appealed to the Supreme Court.
