Karin is a prairie author and a brilliant writer. Two books are well worth your investment: Flourish – the story pretty much of living and thriving with her brother, and a brand new Novel: Small Reckonings – a sensitive and profound exploration of a family story (based on a real story) who struggle with life, poverty, disability and love in rural Saskatchewan shortly after the turn of the last century. A fabulous read with deep lessons for all of us.
