Katie Feldman is the main character of the novel. She works as a waitress at Ivan's and is 27 years old. She rents a small cottage nearby, which is an old hunting cabin sitting at the end of a gravel road. She dyes her hair a brown color and cuts her own hair. Naturally, she is a blonde and her real name is Erin Tierney. She steals the identity of Katie Feldman from her old neighbors. Katie is their daughter who died. While she is friendly and efficient as a waitress, she doesn't tend to be too chatty with the customers or even her co-workers.
Katie chooses to keep to herself because she is hiding from her abusive husband. Erin had come to Southport after running away from her husband and marriage in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Katie is quiet hard working and determined, after she got the cottage she did all the remodeling herself. Katie is a strong individual, because it takes a strong woman to remove them self from a bad situation, she was in an abusive marriage for years but when she couldn't take it anymore she said enough is enough, she packed her stuff and ran as far as she can. Katie past has shaped her for the better, if she hadn't gotten out the her abusive marriage it could have ended worst. if it wasn't for her abusive past she wouldn't have found Alex the love of her life, if it wasn't for her past she wouldn't be independent, if it wasn't for her past she would still be getting abused, so her past has change her life for the better. I admire Katie because her character goes to show that if you want something to be done have have to have the courage and will to do so yourself, I also admire her because she's an strong individual. Her character I wouldn't say reminds me exactly of someone but I know some powerful women in my life, like my mom, my sisters or my aunts they're all very strong women who goes after whatever they want.
