About this ebook
On her mother's urging to go on and have a big, beautiful, and adventurous life, Karen leaves her home in the country at the tender age of seventeen. Abandoning her family, her horse, and her teenage dreams, she embraces life in the big city of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Looking for love in all the wrong places while maneuvering through dead-end jobs, the night club scene, and a slew of unsavory characters, Karen finds herself perpetually searching for Mr. Right. Lacking direction in a lifestyle that involves drugs, alcohol, and the wrong men, Karen wonders when her knight in shining armour will arrive.
Where Is My Happy Ending is a true story about a girl who enters adulthood after having been raised in a home plagued by mental illness. Left to her own devices, Karen stumbles through the highs and lows, tragedies and turmoils of the 1970s disco scene, '80s era of modern love, and into the 1990s, not sure how she got there or how to get out.
Karen's wit, storytelling abilities, and simplicity in looking at life will keep you engaged from start to finish, with an evident reminder—it's not what the world can bring to you, it's what you can bring to the world.
Karen is the author of her award-winning first memoir, Looking for Normal, a recipient of the Rubery Book Excellence Award in the category of Women's Health.
