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 with a stronger and more loving marriage than before.Because they have experienced the pain of a severe marital trauma but also found the hope of a reconciled marriage, 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. Soon after the publication of Broken Heart on Hold in 2006, Linda and her husband Marv began a ministry for those in crisis marriages in Central Florida and have seen many marriages healed and restored. Linda also has an online ministry to those in broken marriages.
