karYn
As a single-mother for nearly a decade, karYn always made it a point to live out all the possibilities of knowledge and adventure, beyond the limitations. During these years of raising her son alone, she accomplished her Bachelor’s Degree while working full-time. Every year, she would take trips together with her son to explore new places and have even gone as far as living in northern New Zealand and Paris, France for a period of time.
It was during their precious time together, living across several organic farms in New Zealand, that she co-wrote her first children’s book with her son, called Mommy’s New Friend. Without knowing it, they were writing their own future into fruition. Nearly a year later, karYn would introduce Mali to her "new friend," who has since become her loving husband. Today, karYn lives with her blended family of seven just outside the city of Boston.
