From Young Widow to Catholic Convert: Katlyn Godwin on Grief, Grace & Under the Fig Tree – 07/24/2026

The Catholic Morning Show

At 29, Katlyn Godwin became a young widow and single mom after her husband Riley was killed in a car accident in the Des Moines metro — and the grief that followed eventually led her into the Catholic Church. In this conversation, Katlyn shares the hope behind her new book, Under the Fig Tree: God's Faithfulness in Every Season, and how she now walks alongside other grieving widows. She'll be signing copies in person at Divine Treasures in Des Moines this Saturday.
