How I Married Karen

Robert J. Avrech is an Emmy Award winning screenwriter (“Body Double,” “A Stranger Among Us,” “The Devil’s Arithmetic”) who fell hopelessly and helplessly in love with Karen when they were classmates in elementary school. In this true life memoir, Avrech details an all-consuming love that struck at age nine and was never forsaken. In a style that recalls the best Hollywood screwball comedies of the 1930’s, and in chapters inspired by classic movies, the author vividly relives an unlikely romance that is touching, hilarious and ultimately inspirational. Between screenplays, Avrech writes the award winning blog, Seraphic Secret.
