Insecure with her inability to walk without pronounced limping, ashamed of her disfigured hands, Kit Anderson is taken directly out of her comfort zone and placed in a threatening situation when she receives a phone call from her dying grandmother. Kit's grandmother requests that she come for a visit and bring a family heirloom, an old jewelery box.
Kit suffers from a crippling form of arthritis and her doctor, who doesn't think she's strong enough to make the trip alone, insists she travel with his good friend, handsome Dr. Keith Long. A very special man, Keith takes the time to teach Kit that she is someone worth loving in spite of her disability. He also teaches her to rely on God for her strength, a strength she'll soon need when she learns someone is willing to kill over her grandmother's jewelery box.

Inspired by her own true story, author Carolyn R. Scheidies tenderly touches readers with her realistic portrayal of a brave yet insecure heroine in this inspirational novel of romantic suspense.
KATALINA is the fascinating story of a young woman struggling to accept the life she's been dealt. Her insecurities cause doubts, which affect her relationship with God and Keith Long. Carolyn Scheidies does an excellent job showing Kit as a real person, inwardly strong yet lacking confidence and physical strengthand lonely, believing no man could ever be interested in a woman with physical disabilities such as hers. The faith message is an integral part of the plot but doesn't overwhelm the reader. The mystery adds a dimension that will have you biting your nails, wondering if Kit and her Aunt Augusta will make it out alive. KATALINA is well written, and romance and mystery lovers will enjoy this captivating story."
