Working the Puzzle of Grace Turner Cannarr with Special Guest - Kate Erickson

Send us a text

If you listened to the Halloween episode where Molly and I told the story of a young, powerless nun from Fresno, California who’d been haunting church property for YEARS, then you’ll recall how our pursuit to understand Sister Irenita’s discontent went where we could’ve never predicted. All we knew when we set out is that her story needed to be told. And then we prayed we’d given her rest and peace finally. 

 Well, today’s episode is much the same. There is someone that passed away decades ago that came on the spiritual radar of my guest. Together, we are endeavoring to shine a spotlight on her life, in part to honor the dead, but also in hopes it will land on the ears of someone out there who has a missing puzzle piece or two. Join us on this unpredictable and jaw-dropping journey.

Superfans of Curious Cat will recognize my guest from our Christmas memories episode where she shared her unforgettable story. She is an author and blogger, with a growing list of publishing credits to her name including Chicken Soup for the Soul. Welcome to the show, Kate Erickson!

I don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers. I choose people, podcasts and authors I believe in to highlight in the ad segment.

That's why I've been shining a spotlight on Derek Condit at Mystical Wares. He is both talented and generous with those gifts. Please give his books a look on the Mystical Wares website.
