A True Story for the Internet Age

When thirteen-year-old Katherine Tarbox used her sister's laptop to go on-line, she found a whole new social scene where people were not judged by their looks but by what they had to say. And there, in an adolescent chatroom, she found Mark. He was perfect: he listened to her, he understood her, and according to his messages, he loved her. And through a series of evolving e-mail exchanges, Katie fell in love with Mark - fell in love for the first time in her life.

But when they actually met, Katie's teenage dream man turned out to be a 41-year-old named Frank.

Though Katie was harshly stung by the encounter, she took action. She took her tormentor to court - and won. Now seventeen years old, she looks back on her experience and brings us a courageous story of how the Internet has vastly changed teen life. Katie became the first victim to successfully prosecute a paedophile via America's new Internet laws.

This brave memoir speaks to anyone who remembers the day they realised the world was not going to be fair, or kind, or accepting. It is the harrowing true story of one teenager's descent into the seductive world of the Internet. A compelling chronicle of a generation and a wake-up call for anyone who spends time on-line, 'Katie.com' won't let you forget that the person you're talking to on-line may not be who you think.
