In a poor and rural home in Maine, Linda is raised by an abusive stepfather and a loving mother who is excommunicated from the church after her divorce. Ironically, Linda becomes a devout nun, then educator, and finally, chaplain working in a hospice counseling terminally ill patients and their families. From the very beginning of her twenty-five years of religious life, an almost imperceptible, unanswerable, nagging surfaces concerning her religious vocation. Behind a comic smile and wit, Linda holds it in check, finally crumbling under the years of denial, and forced (emotionally and physically) to come to terms with a decision that will change her life forever.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"I cried when she cried and laughed when she laughed. She displays our inner human dialogue in a way that will help readers understand that they are not alone. There are two lessons Linda shares that are essential for finding who you are. First, find your unique and authentic talent; and second, learn how to pick up pain, embrace it, and dance with it. We need to do all of this in order to grow. Anyone interested in personal development should use Two Faces of Love as a road map." -- Celeste M. Warner, President, CMW, Training & Development
"I was going to read a few pages to get the gist of the story, and then come back to it later. Wrong! Over the years, I've seen in action parts of what has become Linda's story. She has been able to put the pieces together into a beautiful tapestry of love lived fully, a blending of struggle and joy!" -- Rev. George Bergin, svd
"This book, like its author, is 100% authentic. None of life's experiences is denied or withheld. Expect to be inspired to live your life to the fullest and to be exactly who you are. This is heartwarming, hopeful reading." -- Joan Hornsby, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

A MUST READ,
By Therese V. Messier (Fall River, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Faces of Love (Paperback)
This book was absolutely inspiring and powerful and I could not put it down until I finished it. In fact, I have read and reread it a couple of times gaining something new and inciteful each time. It really touched many things I have done, felt, or lived through and I am sure the same thing is true for many people wherever they may be or whatever they are doing in or with their lives.The author's struggles, obstacles, and how she overcame them and became the person she is is something everyone can learn and benefit from. The book is a must read and can be an invaluable guide and inspiration for anyone who wants to overcome their own struggles and obstacles in life and become a better or different person as well as help oneself to live life more fully or to let go of their fears and come to peace with things. This is truly a great book to learn from and live by.

Enlightening reading,
By Michelle A. Vezina (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Faces of Love (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book very much. The author has had an interesting life and I enjoyed walking with her through her self-discovering journey. As I read the book it made me reflect on my own life and it also made me realize that we never know where a person has been during their life's journey. We may encounter them at a particular point in time but we are a composite of all our experiences. It is difficult to put down and it has a happy ending. ENJOY!
