From carrying her overwhelmed son half a mile home to discovering the power of community that “just shows up,” Katie’s raw testimony reveals how Jesus supplies fresh grace every single day. Her story will encourage anyone facing single-parent challenges, disability parenting, or the heart-wrenching fallout of addiction.
