This is the sequel to the best selling memoir Karen that was written in the 1950s. Karen was born with Cerebral palsy and grew up in an Irish catholic family. She learnt to walk with cruches and leg braces, but those were always painful and so she eventually chose to return to using the wheelchair. The wheelchair gave her more freedom and no more pain.
Karen had been educated at home with a tutor because no school would accept her. Their excuse was usually something like, she cant walk so she cannot keep up with the other children. When she turned 12 years the family moved from Rye NY to Larchmont NY, just down the road and slightly closer to NYC. There the Good Counsel Catholic church and diocese accepted Karen as a student and she finally was able to go to school.
Today Karen lives in NY state and works as a recptionist for a Catholic retreat. She will turn 80 years old this year (2020). Karens parents passed away in the 1990s. One of Karens older siblings has also passed but there still 2 sisters and 1 brother living in the USA.
There were one chapter I skipped over. It described a catholic church mass in details and had far too much latin in it. This second book was written by Karens mother Marie, in response to all the questions that She received about "what happened next to Karen?" (
