I Loved Them First

These poems celebrate a sacred connection. They are proof that the unconditional love of animals can sustain the human heart through all lifes seasons.

Life Touches Life: A Mothers Story of Stillbirth and Healing

The emotional themes are poignant and powerful throughout this heart-warming anthology. Karen gives voice to the devotional ties between people and their companion pets. I enjoyed reading and savoring every single poem.
