Katey Branch

Waking Up to Wonder is a memoir, that uses prose, art and poetry to bring readers into a more visceral experience of my journey of pushing back against a conservative upbringing to intentionally live outside the cultural norm. Raised in a southern fundamentalist home, I discovered my true spirituality and relationship to the divine when I broke free from the church and stepped fully into nature. Watching whales breach in the ocean and hearing messages from the streams I found connection to divinity. Waking Up to Wonder shares some intimately defining moments along my path in hopes of inspiring others to share their stories too.
