Linda W. Rooks

Award winning author Linda W. Rooks believes hope can be found in unexpected places. When she and her husband reconciled after a three-year separation, she began ministering to others in broken marriages. As a result, two of her books, Broken Heart on Hold, Surviving Separation, and the award winning Fighting for Your Marriage While Separated, A Practical Guide for the Brokenhearted, bring much-needed hope and practical guidance to readers who find themselves in the never-never land of separation. Through her online ministry and the classes she and her husband lead in Central Florida, Linda’s breakthrough strategies continue to help countless numbers of marriages. Because Linda has seen God bring good out of painful times in her own life and others on so many occasions, her weekly Heart Talk blog regularly encourages people to “find hope in unexpected places.” But hope isn’t only found in non-fiction titles. In her novel, Pieces of Dark, Pieces of Light, Linda uses a captivating international suspense thriller to shine light and hope into a dark and confusing culture. The book is a 2022 ACFW Carol Award Finalist in two categories – Mystery/Suspense/Thriller and Debut Novel as well
