West
Kari
spent years in courtrooms recording others’ testimony. After
her 22-year marriage ended in an unwanted divorce, she told a friend, “If
I survive, someday I’m going to write about this.” Today
Kari’s words grace national and international publications,
audio tapes for the blind, greeting card copy, and anthologies, including
Chicken Soup for the Soul and God Allows U-Turns.
Responding to the needs of people affected by divorce and single
parenting, she co-authored When He Leaves: Help and Hope for Hurting
Wives and has appeared on television and radio, including Focus on
the Family, Marriage and Family Today, On Main Street, Woman to Woman,
and 100 Huntley Street-Canada. Kari’s most recent book is Dare
to Trust, Dare to Hope Again: Living With Losses of the Heart, now
