Experience the transforming power of God’s love. Call Me Vivian is a true story about a woman caught in adultery. On the fast track in Corporate America, Scheller became involved in an illicit love affair with her boss that newspapers reported as “sordid.” Not everyone’s extramarital affair makes front page news or results in a civil lawsuit and criminal charges that land a person in federal prison, but hers did.
From a financially secure future to losing everything except her positive attitude, sense of humor, and faith, Scheller found herself sleeping on the concrete floor in a prison cell she describes as “one step above hell.” It was in this place that God did His best work!
This book exposes the truth about Scheller’s struggle with sexual sin, the battle for her heart, and the transforming power of God’s love. Through Scheller’s heartache, pain, and countless years of searching, you will gain a better understanding of God’s wonderful gifts of grace and forgiveness.
Call Me Vivian will prove all things are possible with God if you simply have the faith to believe.
Katie Scheller was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. After her fall from the corporate ladder and subsequent time in prison, she felt led to establish The Vivian Foundation which is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children of incarcerated parents.
Her goal is to positively impact and improve the quality of life for each one of the 2.7 million children who have a parent in prison. When Katie is not writing or managing The Vivian Foundation, she enjoys spending time with her family, especially her three children and grandchildren.
The Vivian Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization that was established in 2015 to help the children of incarcerated parents. Our mission is to raise money and provide grants to ministries and other nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to serving the needs of these kids.
There are 2.7 million children in the United States who have a mother or father behind bars, and approximately 10 million children have experienced parental incarceration at some point in their lives. Not only that, but close to 60 percent of inmates have no personal visits from their children, given that most prisons are not accessible by any form of public transportation and prisoners are routinely held hundreds of miles away from home.
The Word of God tells us to “remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself ” (Hebrews 13:3). But we must also remember these children who are the innocent victims of crime. The Vivian Foundation is particularly interested in partnering with organizations that are devoted to reuniting families that are impacted by the prison experience so that kids of all ages are able to visit their parents while they are incarcerated. Would you please prayerfully consider sharing God's love and supporting our mission to help these children?
The Vivian Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for these individuals and doing whatever it takes to reunite families, transform hearts, and change lives.
