About this author

Katie Ganshert is the author of Wildflowers from Winter and Wishing on Willows, both published by Waterbrook Press, a division of Random House. Her debut, Wildflowers from Winter, is a Christy Award finalist, as well as a Christian Retailing’s Best finalist in the contemporary romance category. She lives in Iowa with her handsome husband, their dinosaur-loving son, and their goofy black lab, Bubba. When she’s not busy writing or playing or reading or snuggling, she is obsessing over the paperwork and the waiting that comes with adoption, which she and her husband hope to complete sometime before they are fifty. You can learn more about Katie and her books by visiting her website or author Facebook page.

My FAVORITE of Hedlund's So Far!

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak (Goodreads Author)
read in August, 2012
Haunting, poignant, filled with depth. Some parts are written so beautifully they took my breath away. When I finished, I sat there for a long time, amazed. I know these characters will stick with me for a long, long time.

“Helping people who are going through what I've been through makes me feel like [my pain] wasn't in vain. It gives the pain I went through a sense of purpose.”
