“Cath-Lit Live!” features brief interviews with Catholic authors who are releasing new books. Hosted by Catholic author and speaker Amy J. Cattapan, “Cath-Lit Live!” gives viewers a glimpse into the latest Catholic books while getting to know a bit about the author as well.

Heart of the Violist by Maddie Evans

Still reeling from her teacher and father-figure’s terminal illness, Ashlyn is struggling toward a brighter future. On the heels of a breakup, Michael is fighting to piece together his past by finding his biological parents. What neither realizes is the depth of the secret at the heart of their families, and how prying it open may destroy the harmony they’re trying to create.

About the author:  Maddie Evans has lived in three New England states for over two decades. When she’s not spending time with her family, she’s running or doing things with yarn.

You can catch “Cath-Lit Live” three times a month live on A.J. Cattapan’s author Facebook page. Recorded versions of the show will also be available to watch later on her YouTube channel and Instagram.
