Family Of The Heart
“Family of the Heart” tells the story of Katrina, a young woman who is not always sure of herself as she struggles with friendships that are degrading and humiliating.
Her life changes when she moves to Sarasota, Florida, where she makes lifetime friends she claims as family. As she grows surer of herself, she discovers a talent as a potter and makes her living as an artist.
Katrina becomes pregnant when she is young and unmarried, deciding to carry the child but then give her up for adoption. She spends the rest of her life struggling with this decision and looking for her firstborn child.
