We at Beaufort Books are excited to announce that one of our authors, Karen Newman, was featured on The New York Post and the Greenwich Daily Voice Newman dives into her longstanding battle with eating disorders and her turn to her faith in the battle with cancer and how ultimately her illness drove her towards self recovery. The team at Beaufort is equally as inspired by her story and lends full support to her.
Just Three Words is a moving tale of one woman’s descent into the lonely world of bulimia and eventual rise to health after a long battle with breast cancer. The inspiring autobiographical tale takes readers from all walks of life on a journey of self awareness and recovery. Newman’s tale explores the depths of eating disorders, the shame many victims feel and the importance of self accountability. She explores how she was able to come to terms with her sickness during pregnancy, and ultimately her desire to live a stronger life for those around her. Cancer serves as a way for Newman to take complete agency over her eating disorder and realize her full potential as a triathlon participant and ultimately a mother.
As a regular triathlon participant, Newman’s diagnosis only fueled her desire to compete. It became a life line. The courage and determination to press forward in each race helped Newman become the role model she always wanted to be for her children. In all her struggles, Newman eventually comes to realize that competing in triathlons isn’t about winning the race every time—it’s about enduring the race to the very end.
