Karen is a former Bostonian who now resides with her family on a small farm in South East Louisiana. She loves Scripture and farming and often weaves both into her work as a writer. In 2017, Publisher’s Weekly described her debut memoir, Mustard Seeds and Water Lines as ‘emotional and finely crafted’, in their annual Book Life Prize review. As her story made its way across the country, readers have consistently embraced her as an authentic and relatable voice.

She has a B.S. in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Northeastern University and an M.A. in Christian Spiritual Formation and Leadership from Friends University.
