American writer Kathryn Harrison (b. 1961) was raised in the kinship care of her grandparents from the age of 6.

Harrison was born in Los Angeles, California. Her young parents divorced when Kathryn was 6 months old. At the time, Kathryn and her mother were living with the maternal grandparents and they stayed there until, when Kathyn was 6 years old, her mother left home.

In On Sunset (2018) Harrison weaves together stories of her own childhood with stories of the lives of her grandparents. Because her grandparents are elderly and not impressed by how Americans raise their children, she talks about what she has to endure (eg cod liver oil) and what she misses out on (eg watching The Brady Brunch).
