CAT is excited to share a cover reveal as our writer Elizabeth Upton is currently working on her next non-fiction book, which will be released in mid-spring and will be titled:

BECOME YOUR OWN HERO
BE EMPOWERED TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH RESILIENCE, STRENGTH, AND COURAGE.

Here is a small excerpt from one of the ending chapters for you to enjoy!

Only you can lift yourself out of grief, loneliness, depression from loss, and all the manners of suffering that you will experience throughout your life be it great or be it small. This is your human condition and what it means to be a human- being. Life is what you make of it and not always what you think you deserve. Our human existence is sometimes easy and sometimes hard. And your daily challenge is not to lay down and give up, but to lift yourself out and up no matter what is going on in your life.

We carry emotional wounds from our past into our evolving lives. Sometimes, such wounds are healed, but the scars remain. We are called to move forward and upward, no matter how difficult our life journey becomes. There comes a time when you will appreciate how wonderfully brave you have been by overcoming your life’s challenges. This realization increases your resilience by encouraging you to keep moving forward no matter what.

Even earth’s creatures know when and how to give and receive comfort. The great elephants move in closer to each other, rubbing their trunks around their suffering companions. They know how to mourn and go to graveyards caressing the bones of their once-upon friends in slow reflective movements.
And one by one they move on.

Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story

by Elizabeth Upton
Non-Fiction – Memoir
241 Pages
Reviewed on 09/06/2024
By K.C. Sanders

“Before I left high school, most of my teachers were nuns,
not to mention a source of fascination.
What did they wear to bed at night?
Are they bald under those black veils?
What do they confess if they don’t even sin?

As a young teacher, I worked with and learned a lot more about nuns, but only after I read Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story by Elizabeth Upton, could I conclusively say that nuns are, indeed, very human!

Upton’s journey from becoming a nun to leaving took 21 years, beginning when she was only 16. In an utterly honest voice that shares every emotion, and the more hidden, natural urges a young teen feels, Upton opens up to readers in her memoir.
We feel every battle with herself and her superiors that resulted from her choice to dedicate her life to God.

Becoming a nun is far from easy.
Personal interaction between nuns is discouraged. Nuns in superior positions take their religious fervor and powerful roles to extremes, and the degree of dedication required would try anyone’s strength and patience.

Then, of course, there’s the difficulty younger nuns experience denying their attraction to the opposite sex, as celibacy is not just demanded of Catholic priests! I loved the honesty with which Elizabeth Upton shares such emotional and physical details.
That takes courage. Readers need to bring an open mind to Secrets of a Nun.

Those who see normal urges as sinful might be offended by Upton’s frankness. The rest of us will applaud Upton’s decision to write a tell-all about her life as a Catholic nun. It is a memoir I recommend to any young woman contemplating donning the veil.

“Read this memoir long before you take those final vows.“
~K. C. Sanders Book Reviewer~

Secrets of a Nun is a revealing, uncompromisingly honest, and deeply moving look into one woman’s soul.

At fifteen, Elizabeth, a talented athlete, gives up her dreams of competing in the Olympics to become a nun. Separating from her mother and twin sister, she leaves her friends and familiar world behind to pursue a saintly life. But she finds herself unprepared for what lies ahead. While her cloistered life commences as a profound spiritual and emotional journey, personal disenchantment takes root and slowly grows over the next twenty years.

Elizabeth recoils against the restrictive atmosphere of convent life. She struggles with conflicting emotions until a forbidden love affair forces her to come to grips with her needs as a woman. Over the course of striving to find her authentic self, she ultimately feels compelled to leave the Order.

A true story inspires this fascinating account of courage and passion.
It will shock you and bring a smile to your face as you follow the course of a young woman’s obsession to become a spiritual seeker—an obsession that, over time, transforms into a deeply felt desire for personal liberation.

Review Given By Reader’s Favorite Book Magazine!

Reviewed by Diana Lopez for Readers’ Favorite Book Magazine

You Are a Sovereign Woman of Strength, Love, and Grace is an inspiring book that will help you
discover who you truly are…

Elizabeth Upton addresses the importance of balancing body, mind, and soul, emphasizing the need to appreciate our inner and outer beauty. She teaches us to strengthen ourselves internally and act with courage in our decisions through affirmations.
At the same time, she reminds us of the importance of assuming our responsibilities and being conscious of our actions. She also encourages us to pursue our dreams with confidence and joy.
She highlights the mind’s ability to overcome negative emotions and achieve freedom, happiness, and security. This book will motivate you to take control of your life and live fully.

I loved Elizabeth Upton’s statements because of the diversity of topics she addresses. Although her perspective is profound, her writing style is clear, direct, and positive. She talks about real problems like organizing time between family and work responsibilities. She also offers practical advice for living in the present and letting go of the past. She even explains how to devise action plans to achieve your goals. I appreciated her words for their comforting, loving, and inspiring nature.

Elizabeth gives us the strength to develop our creativity and encourages us to try new things, accepting success and failure equally because we learn from both results. You Are a Sovereign Woman of Strength, Love, and Grace is ideal for taking a moment of tranquility and getting away from daily stress with uplifting phrases to relax and recharge energies.

I highly suggest all women read this captivating book!
