Karen Love is the mother of Mercedez Love and Patrick Love. She was born in Kearney, Nebraska, raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas, educated in St. Louis, Mo. She was a professional singer when younger, later becoming a partner of a prestigious advertising firm before her career in shopping center marketing and management. She was applauded for her creative endeavors winning various private and national industry awards. She was described as the proverbial "woman behind the scenes", known as a major benefactor for many large and small organizations throughout her career. Her greatest love is for the LGBT community as she shares her heartbreaking memoir of her trans child, Mercedez Love. Mercedez was born in 1980 before the now universal movement and recognition of transgender identities that continue to be targeted by bigotry and hatred. See less
