Karen Sparks had the perfect life, a loving husband, two amazing kids, a house in the suburbs. She soon realized that her husband was not what he appeared to be, and the lies became too much and she filed for divorce. Then the unthinkable happened, her ex-husband murdered her kids, and took his own life. The grief of this loss sent Karen down a dark path of depression, and it wasn't until an old friend, past guest Brandy Ray, reached out that she discovered running, and used the miles to come to terms with everything that she lost.
