Original songs inspired by Kareen's work as a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) at Brookside Retirement Community in Overbrook, Kansas. The album provides the listener with an opportunity to walk in the shoes of those who have spent the last season of their lives in a nursing home. It shatters the negative stereotypes of older adults and gives voice to the human spirit no matter how aged the skin.  ORDER NOW!

Cover design by Brenda Cox (featuring Jewell Daniels as a 100-year-old and as a 15-year-old).

Produced at Awestruck Studios
