"A gripping modern love story that transcends all boundaries."
— Juanita Wilson, Academy Award® Nominee
An honest, thought-provoking, and beautifully written memoir, Till Death Don’t Us Part (White Crow Books, 2020) tells the story of former political journalist and war correspondent Karen Frances McCarthy, who was on assignment when she received the news that her partner had suddenly died in New York. Skeptical by nature and numbed by the tragedy, she spiraled into a deep state of grief about never communicating with him again … until he did.
Till Death Don’t Us Part is a true, down-to-earth, transformational story of a former journalist’s extraordinary journey from tragedy to awakening to the knowledge that death is not goodbye.
"It's a fascinating transformational journey that challenges all our assumptions about death."
— Susan Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author
