If So, What the Heck Is Mine","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a child staring up at the crucifix during Mass, Karen wondered how anyone could love that much. It was the beginning of a lifelong quest to understand love in all its forms--and to find her own purpose along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat quest would take her through a nine-year relationship that cost her a place in her church, a devastating breakdown, two marriages, single motherhood, bipolar diagnosis, the sudden death of her husband, and a battle with stage 5 kidney disease. Through every unraveling and every rebuilding, Karen kept circling back to the same aching question: why am I still here, and what am I supposed to do with the life I've been given?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart memoir, part heart-to-heart conversation with the reader, Is There Purpose in Life? traces Karen's imperfect, sometimes messy, always honest journey back to faith. She doesn't pretend to have all the answers--but she does share what she's learned about forgiving yourself, showing up for the people around you, and trusting that God has been present in even your lowest moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with humor, raw honesty, and hard-won wisdom, this book is for anyone who has ever wondered if their pain has a purpose, or if they even matter. Karen's answer, after a lifetime of searching: you do, and so does your story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-18878424\"\u003eKaren L.
