Karen Sargent is the award-winning author of WAITING FOR BUTTERFLIES, the 2017 IAN Book of the Year. She writes what she enjoys reading most--emotionally charged stories that explore life's hard places, inducing tears and laughter, and leaving the reader with something to think about after the last page is turned. She and her husband are adjusting to their empty nest in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks. Visit her at KarenSargent.com.
