This is beautiful Karen. I could feel the emotion and pain in all of it and related so much to your story. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful essay Karen. I did not about your Coney Island connection or your famous photographer grandfather. Wow, just Googled—Amazing article about in in Vanity Fair from 2017. It's so strange to read about those years when we might have slid past each other in Brooklyn kitchens before we ever met.
