Karen’s indomitable spirit infuses her writing. In addition to her inspiring memoir, Karen writes fiction. I particularly enjoyed her Davida: Model and Mistress of Augustus Saint-Gaudens in which she recounts the highs and lows of the long-lasting love affair of a famous sculptor and his beloved model. She was forced to remain in the background of his life, even when statues for which she had modeled were introduced to the public. Her touchstone, in a life that was frequently sad, was to follow her heart.

OUTSHINE: AN OVARIAN CANCER MEMOIR
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KI1HGZI/

When Karen Ingalls was diagnosed with Stage IIC ovarian cancer, she realized ho little she knew about what is called “the silent killer.” As Ingalls began to educate herself she felt overwhelmed by the prevalent negativity of cancer. Lost in the information about drugs, side effects, and statistics, she redirected her energy to focus on the equally overwhelming blessings of life, learning to rejoice in each day and find peace in spirituality.

In this memoir, Karen is a calming presence and positive companion, offering a refreshing perspective of hope with the knowledge that “the beauty of the soul, the real me and the real you, outshines the effects of cancer, chemotherapy, and radian. It is a story of survival and reminds readers that disease is not an absolute, but a challenge to recover.
