In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Kiki Latimer on her book Seeing God's Face: A Catholic American Woman in India (February 8, 2023)

My mother taught me at a young age the old adage that: life isn’t fair. But we were living, growing up, in a country, the United States of America, that was founded on the idea of justice for all, fairness. In October 2004, my dear friend Vijaya Luxmi invited my sister Heidi Donohue, my best friend Maria Shaver, and me to join her on a 3-week trip to India. What follows are the 12 Letters that I wrote, via email, to family and many friends during that journey, and 7 of my journal entries that were composed, here and there, between the letters. These entries share the experience of my heart forced wide open to a better understanding of my mother’s teaching on life’s not being fair, but still indescribably beautiful. We are called to respond to both the injustice and the beauty. It is my hope now that this memoir will do the same for you, dear reader, to the degree that grace allows one’s experiences to touch the lives of others, through the written word.
