Christina Adduci

For over 15 years, I had wanted to write a book about our unique story. Every inquiry led to disappointment. In April 2024, while on vacation in Bali, I met Karen Donald. She mentioned she was a ghostwriter. We spoke about my dream and arranged to meet again the next day.

If you know me, you know how important connection is. I felt it immediately with Karen. I remember sitting across from her, quietly praying she would take on my project. When she later reached out to say yes, it felt like a major breakthrough.

Back home, we began weekly meetings. Karen made me feel seen and heard. She spent the past year getting to know me and my vision with the depth it takes to write someone else’s story. She believed in me as an author and believed in the work. She always showed up, listened intently, and brought steady dedication.

Now, as the book nears publication, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. She brought my dream to life.
