Katherine Butler (MD, Columbia University) is a trauma surgeon who left her practice at Massachusetts General Hospital to homeschool her children. She now writes regularly for Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, and other Christian ministries on topics of faith, medicine, and the power of stories. She is the author of many books, including the middle-grade series The Dream Keeper Saga.

Katherine lives in the woods of northern Massachusetts with her husband, two children, and two cats named after characters by Beatrix Potter. When not writing articles and books for the glory of the Lord, she enjoys long walks, strong coffee, vivid stories, and hearty laughter with her family.
