Jean Smith grew up in a home marred by alcoholism, spousal abuse, mental abuse, and suicide. Although she was raised in a non-Christian home and was always made to believe that she was weak and fragile, Jean relied on her faith in Christ to show her that she is strong and determined, with a fight in her that she never realized she had. Here, Jesus ... Catch! is her story of faith and hope from the pain and loneliness of trauma and loss.
