At some level, that's true for all of us because I think each person has a private memory diary of her own. My soon-to-be-released book What We Carry With Us explores the power of individual memories, whether they're full of joy or regret, against a background of mystery, danger, and romance in the heartland of America in the late 19th-century.

“How else to explain the great mysteries of life and death except through the providence of God? How else to try to make sense of it all? Sunday”
Karen J. Hasley, Where Home Is

“Of course, I wasn’t home. I was in the middle of Chicago, not a mountain or cowboy in sight, just rundown buildings in a part of the city so negligible that it still bore obvious and ruinous scars from the city’s devastating fire forty years earlier. I rode with a stranger in a vehicle that bore no resemblance to a horse and would have sent the sheep—poor dumb creatures that they were—running blindly off the nearest cliff. Many of the decrepit houses we passed showed jagged, broken windows and were fronted by privies that did not offer even an illusion of privacy. My surroundings were so different from those of my childhood that we could have been on another planet.”
Karen J. Hasley, Where Home Is

“Don’t make the mistake of considering poverty a disease for which we must find a cure. It is a social condition, not an illness. Poverty does not kill people, but its effects might.” “Angels dancing on a pin, Dr. Pasca?” “Not at all. Think it through. If we allow people to consider poverty an illness, then they will happily relegate it to the rarified air of laboratories and specialists and asylums instead of keeping it right where it belongs—in their own parlors and sitting rooms. They will expect you and me to find its cure instead of seeing that all of us have the responsibility to rectify the deplorable conditions in which many people live. Never take ownership of poverty, Doctor.”
Karen J. Hasley, Where Home Is
