Catherine Marshall was married to a Scottish preacher named Peter Marshall who pastored the well-known New York Avenue Presbyterian Church and served as the Chaplain of the United States Senate in the 1940s.

The daughter of a preacher, Catherine grew up in West Virginia but was a student at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, GA when she attended a church pastored by Peter Marshall. She was mesmerized by his preaching, Scottish accent, and his status as a bachelor.

He didn’t know anything about her admiration until she spoke at a rally for young adults. Her boldness and enthusiasm caught his eye. Although there was twelve years age difference, they married in 1936 and soon after the honeymoon moved to Washington DC.

Shortly after their son, Peter John, was born, Catherine contracted tuberculosis. In 1940, the antibiotics that now treat this condition weren’t available. Instead, the doctor ordered complete bedrest for three months. These three months turned into three years.

During that difficult season, Catherine learned many valuable lessons that she wrote about later in her book
