Monica Campbell from Chadbourn North Carolina and now I live in Durham North Carolina for 28 years. I am the proud owner of Campbell's Christian Academy preschool owned and operated for 21 years and counting. I was inspired to write about Catie the Caterpillar because her struggle to come out the cocoon to become this beautiful monarch butterfly relates to my life God reminded me that I was in an incubator fighting for my life also my mother said the doctor's was not expecting me to live over night but with the miracle from God I fought to live and become the woman after His own heart. I also was inspired because of the children taught over the years and help shaped their lives in preparation for the next stage in life Kindergarten encouraging each child just like Catie went through the metamorphosis stage in the struggle to come out to be a butterfly they can go through their stages and become what God want them to be in Him and any professional they desire. To God all the Glory and honor is given in Jesus name Amen.

Catie the Caterpillar's simple, straightforward language and colorful illustrations realistically portray the scenario of child sexual abuse, integrating the lines typically used by perpetrators and the guilt feelings and withdrawal of the victim into a story that demonstrates the need to express rather than suppress feelings. Talking about abuse is only the first step to recovery, so Catie's story is followed by discussion questions to further facilitate the therapeutic process and bring to life God's real and constant love for us all. This book can be used as part of a curriculum on abuse for children.

Who are you when expectations contradict reality? Catie Burke's life had been planned for her since the day she was born. Characterized by her pleasing smile, amenable attitude, and unwavering obedience, Catie naturally succumbed to the Burke family pressure without hesitation. Married to her high school sweetheart, Catie's trajectory inevitably leads her to the next predestined stage of life; motherhood. But for the first time, what if Catie isn't ably to comply with the rigid demands set forth by the Burke family establishment? Owning Cadence Piano wasn't part of the plan for Catie, but music was always an escape where she was permitted to make the rules, not blindly follow those put in place by her family. Sam, a client of Cadence Piano, also wasn't part of Catie's plan but the magnetism and electricity that radiates between the two is undeniable. Grappling with who she has been told she is and who she is meant to be, Catie realizes that a deviation from the plan may be the very thing she needs to find her destiny. Catie must decide whether the conditional love she has always known is worth risking for a chance at the unconditional love found where it was never expected.
