Heartworks

About the Book

Heartworks grew out of journal entries spanning thirty years. These pages seek to encourage thoughtful reflection to become a whole person in a broken world by discovering the necessity of inviting God into all areas of our lives—through joy and through pain.

About the Author

As a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and armed with a degree in journalism, writing a book sounded intriguing. Soon realizing that people fresh out of college rarely have enough experiences in life to reflect upon, she settled for journaling. Thoughts in this book reflect thirty years of writing in journals. After a year of working at UTMB in Galveston, Texas, writing in-house publications, she woke up one morning with a burning desire to teach. Since she had adamantly declared to her father, a school administrator, that she never wanted to teach, she figured it was the Lord’s leading to pursue that career path. What followed was a year at Texas A&M, spent becoming certified to teach and two years of graduate school, ending in a teaching certificate and an MA in British Literature.

Kathy Ann retired after twenty-five years of teaching high school English. She lives in Fredericksburg, Texas with her husband, Gil.
