Finding Karen : The Journey Through Sadness

She kept the photo at her side for months. A picture of a 4-year old blonde & ribboned girl wearing a pleated skirt & a sweater & clutching a stuffed lamb. The picture was karne in 1946. Karne often looked long & hard at the girl, wondering who she was. What wounds kept her from childhood. Why the child as an adult turned to alcoholism. "Sadness is a theme that has always been in my life, but I never understood why. As the trauma of sexual abuse surfaced, karne came to understand that the little girl of her childhood still lived within her, although injured & afraid. Thus began the painful process of re-connecting with her inner child, Karen. "I wanted to reach out gently so I wrote poetry to her. I wanted to show what happens AFTER abuse. There aren't enough personal voices about this...you can come to terms." Told in poetic form & illustrated by the author's photography, the book chronicles the beginning of discovery, recovery, healing & inner peace.
