Kathryn Anne Casey is a published author, newspaper editor and reporter, home-educator, former life coach and prevention specialist, wife of 16 years, and mother of six children here on earth and three in Heaven (two by miscarriage and one stillborn caused by anencephaly). Her youngest son has a rare genetic mutation called SPINT2 and is TPN dependent. 

Kathryn served a year with the National Evangelization Team, holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and an M.S. in Clinical Psychology from the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, now Divine Mercy University. She is the author of Journey in Love: A Catholic Mother’s Prayers after Prenatal Diagnosis; Peace in Pregnancy and Devotions for the Expectant Mother (published by Our Sunday Visitor); and What God Had Emptied: How I Found Hope in my Children’s Diagnoses (published by En Route Books and Media). She is a journalist and regular columnist for the Hughson Chronicle & Denair Dispatch.

Kathryn grew up in Hughson, CA, lived briefly in Minnesota and Virginia before returning home with her husband and firstborn to be near family. When her son, Peter, was hospitalized in 2016, life began to look radically different, and every step since then is an act of finding God’s will in the small events of the day-to-day. Kathryn now lives just outside Hughson on an acre of land with her husband, children, cats, chickens, and flowers.
