Kitty Foth-Regner was a feminist atheist for the first half of her adult life—until her Christian mother stood on the cusp of eternity, sending Kitty off on a personal quest for the truth about where we came from, what we’re doing here and where we’re going. Heaven Without Her (Thomas Nelson, 2008) is an enthusiastically endorsed account of that quest, during which she frantically sought evidence for everything but Christianity (since she thought most Christians were both boring and self-righteous). Finding no such evidence, she finally turned to the Bible, and was blown away by its obvious truth, and by learning that all her long-held ideas about Christians had been 100% wrong. 

The Song of Sadie Sparrow (FaithHappenings, 2017) is Foth-Regner's first Christian novel. Set in a five-star nursing home near Milwaukee, it's a reflection of what she knows best. For a quarter century, the now-retired copywriter been closely associated with just such a facility, both as the daughter of a resident and as a volunteer.
