Linda will share A Place of Refuge book four in her First Light Series; a story of longing, forgiveness, and the healing power of love.

She only remembers dying.

In 1971, a near-fatal automobile accident throws Izzy Monroe’s life into upheaval after she survives with a traumatic brain injury that leaves her with no short-term memory. Unable to continue her graduate studies, she retreats to her childhood home on Chappaquiddick Island, adrift and despairing.
