OM DENNE EPISODE
Cathy Gohlke is on the podcast today to talk about her historical novel Every Given Day. This story is a story inspired by the discovery of insulin, Cathy’s granddaughter’s type 1 diabetes, and the faith journey of learning to surrender. We talk about how real history can spark a novel, why family stories stay with us, and how Cathy brings historical research, romance, and faith together on the page.
