Karen DeBonis writes about motherhood, people-pleasing, and personal growth, inspired by the experience of raising her son, Matthew. Growth: A Mother, Her Son, and the Brain Tumor They Survived, is her 2023 award-winning debut memoir, and her essays have appeared in the New York Times, HuffPost, and numerous other mainstream and literary publications. Don’t expect a second book from Karen, but she’ll continue to write essays as long as she has something to say, which will be forever. Learn more at www.karendebonis.com.
