Carolyn was baptized as a Catholic and went to Catholic grade school but was not raised in the faith at home. At a very young age she started modeling and acting. After winning the Miss Ohio pageant she went to New York and to begin her acting career. In the midst of success she felt empty and lost. After moving in with her boyfriend, Erwin, she became pregnant and aborted the baby. After two more abortions, he then got a vasectomy and then everything really went downhill. On a friend’s suggestion Carolyn and Erwin returned to Church went to confession and experienced Christ’s grace and love. This began their gradual journey of forgiveness, healing and life.
