About this title

Synopsis

A woman who is separated needs a friend to walk beside her on her difficult journey.

Broken Heart on Hold is that friend, one that will uplift, encourage, and hold her up while offering practical insights and pointing her to God. It is a book of hope. Because it is written by a woman who has gone through the trauma of a separation and the eventual healing of her own marriage, the reader will know she is not alone.

This collection of honest, heartfelt messages reaches down into the valleys of a woman's loneliness, travels with her through her mental labyrinths, and sheds light in the dark tunnels where answers seem nonexistent. It provides the emotional and spiritual strength to help a woman sort through her confusion.

While winding her way through the maze of her emotions, she will realize there is hope as she hangs on to God and trusts him for the outcome. Broken Heart on Hold is a book she will return to again and again.

About the Author

In the '90s after more than twenty years of marriage, Linda W. Rooks and her husband Marv suffered through a painful three-year separation. But, unlike many couples, their story had a happy ending. They reunited in 1998 with a stronger marriage than before.

Because they have experienced the pain of a severe marital trauma but also found the hope of restoration, they are eager to share that hope with others. Having the correct formula is not enough. A person in marital crisis needs emotional and spiritual strength to get to the other side. In Broken Heart on Hold, Surviving Separation, Linda shares from her heart and her experience to help those in marital trauma find relief. She is there to walk beside the reader to shed light in the dark tunnel of marital breakdown.
