A beloved inspirational writer and speaker, Catherine’s enduring career spanned four decades and reached over 30 million readers. ExcerptDean's eyes were studying me. "You have a way with words. What kind of writing do you want to do?" "Articles for Dad's paper, to start." "What do you want to write about?" I paused, suddenly uncertain about how much to share. Dean's eyes were reassuring. "When I know more, I'd like to write about deeper things." Giveway (1) Winner will win:
