Book excerpt: The Fragile Curtain is all about her journey to diff. refuge camps. In the spring of 1980, Karen made a traveling survey of the refugee camps of the world. She went to interpret the pain and suffering of these people; instead they showed her the meaning of her own life-and of yours and mine. Forced to take a fresh look at her life, Karen allows us intimate glimpses of poignant family scenes-a birthday celebration, Christmas morning for her seriously ill child, the death of her father after a debilitating and lingering illness. The eye is the best teacher, Karen concludes at the end of her trip. I have seen and become convinced. It is the refugee who can help teach us what is truly of value.
