There are over 30 poems in Linda's latest book, 'A Winding Road'. With her usual fearless honesty, Linda approaches the presence of God through the light and darkness of life.

With the courage of vulnerability, in her latest collection of poetry, Linda invites us to walk a mile in her shoes - that very human journey of life and faith. "I have fought in the trenches. I lost, and won. The losses often felt larger than the gains. Unlike my schooldays, in God's schoolroom, I chafed at the lessons. Who was God? Who was I? Life's answers aren't outlined on page or in song, they are lived - in, and through."
