My 1st Breath (Paperback)

Paperback. My 1st Breath is her deeply personal debut memoir.Forgiveness is often presented as the end of the story.But what if it isn't?My 1st Breath: Finding Life After Trauma confronts the reality that neither forgiveness nor death immediately heals the wounds left by lived experience. Through abuse, betrayal, and unprotected innocence, Karen examines how trauma can distort touch, trust, identity, and self-worth, and how past pain can quietly bleed into relationships, faith, and daily life, often without us realizing that yesterday's wounds are bleeding into the life we are living today.This is not a story of instant healing or tidy conclusions. It is a journey through grief, accountability, boundaries, and the courage required to stop bleeding on ourselves and others.This book is for those still asking hard questions, those carrying pain they cannot explain, and those ready to stop performing and begin living.This is for the ones who survived, but are tired of just surviving.
