Unveiling Secrets: Karen Palmer’s Shocking Journey Behind She’s Under Here
Karen Palmer: Karen Palmer is my fake name — which later became my legal name. I was born “Kerry,” but by now, I’ve lived a long time as “Karen.” (If I’d known that name would become the most hated woman in America, I might have chosen something else.) For years I wanted to write about disappearing, but couldn’t, partly because of the nature of what happened to my family, partly because I was worried about Gil finding us, and partly because I couldn’t figure out how to tell the story; I was definitely an “unreliable narrator.” It was only after Gil died that I felt safe enough to get everything down. Then began the long process of making meaning.
