Karen Gruden presents her newest book, Never Alone: A Journey of Healing through the Power of God

Karen wrote Never Alone to offer encouragement, hope, and healing to readers who’ve experienced deep grief.

Karen Gruden’s Christian spiritual growth started in the most unexpected and startling way—with the tragic and sudden death of her twenty-one-year-old daughter, Taylor. The loss of her daughter ushered in a long period of darkness for the grieving mother. In this story grieving the loss of a child, years of deep grief and constant pain left Karen certain she was doomed to perpetual hopelessness. But to Karen’s surprise, her shattered heart became a starting point for a new journey with God, beautifully healing and sustaining her. Never Alone chronicles Karen Gruden’s transformation from brokenness to wholeness—from believer to fully devoted follower of Jesus. No longer defined by tragedy, Karen shares her emotional and inspiring story of grieving loss and healing, emerging on the other side of grief with strength, purpose, and joy.
