This is Joy's story-the story of her struggles and her incredible contributions, along with a bit about Rick Karp, her husband and biographer, who promised her during the last few days of her life that he'd tell her story. A remarkable person, Joy was a woman who was up against all odds throughout her entire existence. She fought back with grace, determination, and strength, even in the most dire circumstances. Despite the challenges she faced, she continued to thrive, lead a successful career, and have a positive impact on millions of people even today, years after her passing.

This incredible story shows how determined Joy was to make a difference. In 1978 Joy created the ""McDonald's Hands on Business Training Program"" which became the world-wide training program for McDonald's Restaurants and has had a positive impact on many, many people throughout the years. She was Inspirational in confronting the physical and medical challenges she faced, and Joy has left a lasting mark through her compassion and support for others. Her story is a firm reminder to never give up, no matter what the odds.

Rick Karp was a high school teacher for 14 years, in business for close to 30 years, and was president of the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce for several years. Now retired, he is currently president of the Jewish Cultural Society of Yukon and a member of the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce. He volunteers at the local hospital, is a local and national business mentor, and is part of the Whitehorse writer's community. Rick wants to show people, like Joy did, that when we put our minds to achieving something, we can do it. He is a firm believer in teaching people how to rely on our abilities and strengths to overcome issues and help others. A consummate storyteller, he has published two other books with FriesenPress: Green's Discovery (2020) and Green's Discovery 2 (2022). After Joy's passing, Rick lives in Whitehorse with his two wonderful cats.
