Karen Walker seemed to always have known that the whispers were there – the confidence and courage to heed them, however, were her lifetime journey.
In her poignant memoir, Karen Walker traces the effects of a cold, loveless home environment and an early sexual molestation on her growth, marriage, motherhood, and professional pursuits. After freeing herself from her own desert of a marriage, Walker loses custody of her child and then journeys to find herself and some sense of completeness.
Her journey takes her from her old life to new friendships, new lovers, and new professions. From New York to Portland, Oregon and eventually to Albuquerque, New Mexico, Walker seeks someone to love her as she is and longs to re-connect with her son whom she abandoned for his well-being. This 50-year emotional odyssey eventually leads Walker to a self who can look back over her life with a contentment and satisfaction that allow her to follow the whispers that the future may bring.
