Karen Flyer was vaulted immediately
at birth into the type of traumatic childhood fictionalized in novels. After dealing with the unfit parenting
and subsequent suicide of her alcoholic, manic-depressive father and the sexual abuse of her mother’s boyfriend’s
teenage son, Karen went on to face her own demons in the form of anorexia, alcohol abuse, sexual promiscuity and low self-esteem. Against the odds, Karen graduated
as valedictorian of her high school and near the top of her class at Duke University. She went on to receive
her M.B.A. and pursue a successful career in marketing in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. Currently,
Karen is the Executive Director for COPE, a grief and healing organization dedicated to helping parents and families living
with the loss of a child. She has published numerous articles for trade magazines over the past few years. Karen lives in
East Hills, New York with her husband and their two children.
