Personal Growth Book
"Conversations with Katherine"
 The foundation of this site is the personal growth book "Conversations with Katherine".
It is the story of the journey of Rudy Krause, a middle aged man who struggles to overcome the debilitating self image
bequeathed him by an abusive step mother.
While suffering an emotional meltdown in the restaurant he's about to lose,
Rudy makes a desperate cry for help to the woman who gave him life--and then died 2 1/2 years later. She answers his call,
and after convincing a most dubious Rudy that she is in fact his departed mother, Katherine leads him on a 17 year journey
of "rediscovery". Through her tutelage he casts off the anger, resentment, hate and guilt that have defined his psyche
since he was a teenager. He stops blaming, takes responsibility for his life and begins moves confidently and joyously
toward what he knows in his heart is his mission and destiny.
Throughout this site I reference Rudy"s conversations with his mother to illustrate the lessons he's
learned. I'm including on these pages the opening chapters of parts 1 and 2, which take place 14 years apart.
Reading them, as well as the other pages contained in this site, will give you a peak at the "flavor"
of the rest of the text. If you like what you read you may follow the link below to download your free copy of
