About Me

Despite that frightful incident, Karen grew up to become a notable journalist/author, mesmerizing speaker, and a midnight-blogger. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek and on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered and Morning Edition. She can be reached at heromama.org Look for her upcoming book, Where's Your Jesus Now? Zondervan. 2008
