In this episode, we discover that Katharine experienced even more tragedy in her young life. With the death of her father, Katharine lost her North Star, and she struggled to discern God's call for her life.
For six years, Katharine remained indecisive about what to do next. She was torn between life as a nun or life as a wife. The stress of loss and doubt caused her health to decline, and we learn that Katharine eventually made a radical choice.
What choice did she make? Join us next week to find out!
