In the realm of anecdotal storytelling and experiences that tug at the heartstrings, Julie Catania-Shady has emerged as an inspiring beacon of faith, resilience, and undying maternal love. With her touching narrative conveyed in the book, “Conversations With Colton: A Story of Fear, Faith, and Doubt,” she delves into a labyrinth of emotions where the fear of loss commingles with the reaffirmation of faith.
An alumnus of the University of Maryland in College Park, Catania-Shady holds a dual degree in broadcast journalism and criminal justice. Her early professional endeavors confined her to the vivid world of television, specializing in crime TV, to investigative roles within the federal government. However, her self-revelation acknowledges her role as a mother to be her most prized job.
As quoted by her, the journey of motherhood unfurled a path unanticipated, elevating her life’s experiences beyond mere labels of professional achievements. The greatest source of her melodious contentment resonates in the name of her son, Colton.
Catania-Shady’s maternal dream parallels many women’s desires worldwide, but it transformed into a series of tribulations, such as a miscarriage followed by a diagnosis of cancer. The news of her pregnancy, therefore, emerged as a beacon of hope in a sea of misfortunes, a life-altering miracle that rekindled her faith.
Her book spawns from this tumultuous journey of fear and grace. “Conversations With Colton” transcends the barriers of a personal memoir to become a testament to unshaken faith amid storms of uncertainties. She emphasizes the constant fight staged between fear and faith, made even more significant when something or someone precious is on the brink of jeopardy.
Julie beautifully pens her conversations with her now seven-year-old son, Colton, whose survival was questioned by medical professionals due to several prenatal complications. These real-life ‘conversations’ shaped her experience as a mother and a resilient woman, forming the backbone of her story and making it heartfelt, inspiring, and relatable to others facing their storms.
The book, interspersed with wisdom and thought-provoking questions, beckons readers to introspect their choices in life’s challenging moments. Equipped with a sense of emotion-evoking storytelling, Catania-Shady nudges readers to question their instinctual preference between fear and faith when the sea of life gets stormy.

Picked by readers for its heartfelt recount of a mother’s love and undying faith in adversities, it becomes an incredible source of inspiration, evoking laughter and tears.
