Greetings from Author,
Tina Katamay
Welcome new friends! In my heart, I have always been a storyteller who dreamed of one day sharing my stories with the world. With the release of my debut book, “My Real Mother,” my dream has become a reality. I poured my heart and soul into these pages and as I sit here, staring at my creation, I am humbled and grateful. Thank you for being a part of my journey from understanding to compassion and forgiveness.
