Hello Karen,

If I was a man suffering from abuse I would be happy to learn from you but I am not. I never was abused but cried when I read your book. I never imagined what a life of abuse could be but in your book it was fully understood. I would like to know more like how you managed to live your life as a mom, work and make new acquaintances after beaten to near death emotionally and physically. Are you considering writing another book? Maybe a memoir? I would buy it so that’s one book pre-sold.

Dear Ben,

Thank you for sharing! I’m glad to hear that you were never abused. It’s important to me to hear from those like you who can’t understand why anyone can abuse a child. It’s sad.  My story is no doubt a difficult and emotional read, but it was necessary to share the trauma of what can happen to a child when repeatedly abused. I can sense you felt my pain. I’m sorry my story brought you to tears but glad that you came to an understanding of abuse.

I am currently working on the sequel to Switching Time. It is my hope that it will be taken seriously and published some day. In my book I share all the stories questioned about my being a Mom, relationships, the good, the bad, the ugly, betrayal, starting over and so much more. I believe it’s an important next step to my healing.

Thank you for caring and for my first pre-sale!

Karen
