I found an article on eatingdisorderresources.com:

For her brother, Karen's death was a sad enigma. "I still have no idea
why this disorder struck Karen," said Richard, who is now writing a book
about the Carpenters. "It's just such a tragedy whenpeople with so much
talent and so much more to give are taken awayfrom us when they're young.
Like Karen."

Do you know the book which Richard was writing?

Never heard that Richard was writing a book. That would be a good thing if he did though. I'm sure he still wonders why it happened to Karen and why she couldn't be helped.

Maybe it's the same book Coleman wrote, with Richard's help?

That'd be wonderful if he is writing a book about Karen. It'd be really interesting! And the fact that he's her brother, he'd know more about Karen than anyone else really..

I think looking at the dates, this is the book he was working on with Ray Coleman at the time.

I'd love to read a book about Karen, especially if Richard wrote it. I'd like to see what Richard thought about it.
