...Speaking of Resilient Women...

 Judy Hudson draws on her background as a professional counselor to write stories that explore the grit and heroism of ordinary women as they face extraordinary burdens.

Her 'Tethered Series' features Dana Jordan, a skilled counselor who facilitates the emotional healing and personal transformation of her clients, all the while facing her own regrets for relinquishing a daughter at birth. Readers are offered a mirror to their own experiences and emotions as they relate to Dana and people like Hannah in 'Tethered to Shadows' who escapes addiction, only to be entangled with abusive people; or Genie, in 'Tethered to Shame,' whose belligerence hides her fragile spirit and sabotages her joy. In 'Untethered Heart,' Liz seeks redemption after hiding her identity for nearly a lifetime, separated from those she loves.

'Mule Springs Saga' and 'Written in Dust' are stories rooted to the rugged Owyhee Mountains when Way Stations were a way of life and motorcars were beginning to displace horse and wagon.

When not writing, Judy thrives on gardening, line dancing, reading, the sisterhood of women, and serving our mighty God. She and her husband live in southeast Idaho.

Judy relishes the opportunity to discuss her books and welcomes the invitation to speak at book clubs. She travels throughout Idaho’s Treasure Valley or uses Zoom outside her boundaries.
