Autorenporträt
Rev. Kate Harris Weishaupt is a pastor, theologian, and hospital chaplain. Born and raised in Tennessee, she lived throughout the South in the USA, attaining her Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Christian Leadership at Belmont University and her Master of Divinity at Duke University, before relocating to Germany in 2015. Since then, she has lived in various cities in the former GDR. She currently lives in Halle an der Saale with her German husband, Andreas, and their dual national daughter, Olivia. Kartulas Journey is her first novel. Written through the lens of a theologian, the vivid descriptions and humorous writing style take readers on the journey of being a foreigner in Germany, while inciting reflection on the need to promote communities in which cultural and religious differences are celebrated, rather than used as reasons for division.
