“Richly multilayered characters, portrayed with empathy, make this debut novel a strong addition to a growing body of works about adolescents seeking to reconcile the cohesive faith of childhood with the fractured religious diversity of the adult world.” – Kirkus Review

I have read Converting Kate several times now and with each reading, find a different pearl of wisdom hidden within it’s pages. I have read it outloud on a long roadtrip with my partner and we both cried together over Kate’s journey seeing our own similar experiences in her “conversion.” I have also read it silently to myself – slowly pondering each chapter on completion. I always find a true mark of a great story whether on page, the movie screen or elsewhere to be one where the characters come alive in my mind and seem so real that weeks, months or years after experiencing their story I might stop and wonder what they are up to now … I can’t help but wonder what Kate is up to now.
