Book Description
The inspirational true story of Karen Martin's triumph over adversity and illness is candidly and humorously written. Tormented throughout life by her sociopathic brother, Karen dealt with his wicked treatment of her with tenacity, grace, faith, and humor. While Karen's mother tried to deal with her son's depraved behavior, she was ill-equipped to do so. Karen's father was unwilling to even recognize his son's problems. Left to deal with her older clever and cunning brother by herself, Karen not only survived his treatment of her, but through faith, courage, hard work, and the loving support of her husband, she became a successful wife, mother, educator, and grandmother. Karen's optimistic attitude always found her confidently planning for a better future and then steadfastly coping with the many hindrances to her plans. Surviving two bouts with cancer while simultaneously dealing with several other family crises, Karen succeeded where many would have been defeated. Recognizing that God is always in control and that his design for her is greater than any plans she could make, Karen forged ahead with faith. Her amazing life story will have you marveling and laughing.
