Catherine LawtonBorn in Colorado, Catherine Lawton (Cathy) lived most of her young life in rural parts of Northern California, moving from one town to another as a preacher's daughter. She learned to love evocative language, spoken or written from the heart, that pants a picture in the mind and, mixed with faith, awakens the spirit. She became a keen observer of both the vagaries of human nature and the wilds of outdoor nature. During college Cathy married her high-school sweetheart, and the Lawtons raised their children near the north coast Redwoods. In mid-life she returned to her birth state of Colorado with her husband, Larry, where they enjoy hiking, birding, gardening, and time with family and friends. Inner healing is a theme running through her writing, as she explores the depths of our relationships with - and need for - God, nature, and each other. Her previous books include 'Face to Face: A Novel', 'Journeys to Mother Love', and 'Remembering Softly: A Life In Poems'. Read More Read Less
