Katrina Kenison Bücher
Katrina Kenison schreibt, um sich selbst daran zu erinnern, wie sie leben und wer sie sein möchte. Ihre Werke, oft intime Memoiren, erforschen die Zyklen eines Frauenlebens, von den Herausforderungen der Mutterschaft bis zu Themen wie Verlust, Wachstum und der Suche nach Sinn. Kenison lädt die Leser ein, langsamer zu werden, kleine Freuden zu schätzen und das Heilige im Alltäglichen zu finden. Ihr Schreiben dient als Ermutigung, bewusst zu leben, Dankbarkeit zu üben und auch in gewöhnlichen Momenten Wunder zu suchen.
