A quirky fun story about a miracle baby who has the best conversations! A quick, inspirational, pick me up! Life is just a series of short stories, and every decision you make becomes part of your story. When in the moment, will you choose faith over fear or fear over faith? It’s an easy question to answer when you aren’t in the “storm” but a huge question when something near and dear to you is in jeopardy. Like many girls do, Julie dreamed of becoming a mommy. She dreamed of a perfect life for and with her child. After suffering a miscarriage and a cancer diagnosis, finding out she was pregnant was an incredible miracle. But what happened next put her faith to the test, more so than the previous trials. How do you keep having faith when you are caught in a “storm?” Conversations with Colton will explore just that! Colton survived despite what doctors said, and conversations with him have made all the fear, faith, and doubt that got to this moment 100 percent worth it.
Conversations With Colton (both writing it and publishing it) has been the most surreal, humbling, fantastic, terrifying experience of my life and I wouldn’t want it any other way. If Conversations with Colton touches one life, all of it will be worth it. Read below to see what people are saying about the book.
You can find Conversations with Colton on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and most places where books are sold. Here’s what readers are saying:
“I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about this family and how faith, love, prayer and grace led them to where they are now. Colton is a miracle baby. He is growing up to be a very smart, fun, loving, little boy who loves hockey, his family and has the greatest sense of humor. I’m sure their home is filled with laughter all the time.” Tara M.
“Conversations with Colton is a heartwarming and inspiring set of short stories framed within a larger lesson about choosing faith over fear. The book is full of relatable anecdotes and real life examples of one family’s journey through “fear, faith, and doubt” as they navigate the birth and raising of a child that could only be described as a miracle. The reader joins the author’s skillfully written story as she relays it from past to present and back again, all the while weaving in conversations with her son that are honestly so funny that I laughed out loud multiple times! Catania-Shady reminds the reader that even when things seem uncertain, messy, complicated, you have to “keep flying”. The authors writing style is engaging and conversational, making the reader feel like they’re having a conversation with an old friend (while sitting in Starbucks, of course 😉 Its a very easy read. Super inspirational. I highly recommend it to everyone!” HH
“Perfect book for whatever you are facing in your life as told by a Mom who was put to the test during her pregnancy. Really makes you think about what you are facing and gives you hope as well. Thanks for writing and thanks for sharing your experience and Colton with the world.” Einstein 13
