My Lipstick Will Always Be Bright: A Journey of Love, Loss and The Cat Hospital I Built Against All Odds

What happens when the life you've built becomes both your greatest achievement and the thing holding you back?

In My Lipstick Will Always Be Bright, Kim Hurley shares a raw, funny, and deeply human memoir about resilience, determination, and an unwavering love for cats. From her early days as a veterinary technician to building one of the region's only cat-exclusive veterinary hospitals, Hurley takes readers behind the scenes of entrepreneurship, emotional upheaval, and the everyday chaos of caring for felines—and the unforgettable people who love them.

This is not a polished success story. It's a behind-the-scenes look at marriage, loss, reinvention—and finding strength you didn't know you had.

Inside, you'll find:

Perfect for readers who love memoirs that blend heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, this book sits comfortably alongside All Creatures Great and Small, Educated, and Wild, with a distinctly feline twist.

Honest, inspiring, and unapologetically authentic, this is a story about choosing to keep your light bright when giving up would be easier.
