Circled Heart
Karen J. Hasley grew up from working-class roots in the mid-section of America. Her Master's thesis on seventeenth-century female poets gave her a love for the rich treasures waiting to be discovered about women's lives in the past, and in 2006 Karen's first novel, Lily's Sister, hit the stands. The rest is - quite literally - history. Do you recognize these women from America's past? Jane Addams. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Dr. Alice Hamilton. Dr. Kate Waller Barnett. Donaldina Cameron. You'll find them all - and then some -in Karen's books. Her unique storytelling gift allows her to intertwine the lives of fictional heroines with historical real-life women so closely and so convincingly that you may need to check your history books to figure out which is which. Ohio's Pulitzer-prize winning Akron Beacon Journal said that "Hasley's impeccable writing" offers a "satisfying read from beginning to end." (10/15/06) Remarkable women. Unforgettable love stories.
