BEYOND FEAR by Karen Chrappa Receives Honorable Mention in the 2025 Eric Hoffer Book Awards

We are thrilled to share that Karen Chrappa’s memoir, BEYOND FEAR: A Woman’s Path to Enlightenment, has been recognized in the prestigious 2025 Eric Hoffer Book Awards.

First named to the highly selective Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List—a distinction reserved for fewer than 5% of all nominees--BEYOND FEAR has now received an Honorable Mention in the Memoir Category.

The Eric Hoffer Book Award honors excellence in independent publishing, celebrating books that are thought-provoking, original, and impactful. Each year, judges recognize a grand prize winner, runner-up, and honorable mentions across multiple categories, alongside the coveted short list distinction.

Karen Chrappa’s recognition affirms the resonance of her powerful story—one of healing, awakening, and reclaiming strength in a world shaped by fear and patriarchal dominance.

We are deeply honored by this acknowledgment and grateful for the growing community of readers who continue to embrace BEYOND FEAR.
