Reviews
“Linda Whalen has a special gift of expressing herself with clarity and insight…It is a book to be read slowly and reflectively…” Sister Diane Smith, CSJ Director, School of Ministry, Stockton Diocese
“Linda writes about her childhood not with bitterness, but how living through difficult times and situations may grow your relationship to God…” —Amazon review
“Thank you for giving me the honor of being one of the first readers of your first book. I am happy to learn that you have been encouraged to put this book into print…” —Monsignor Bill Hughes, Stockton Diocese
“While I didn’t have a childhood similar to yours, the heart of this book touched me deeply. The lights in the Valley inspired me to look back and see that God had placed lights in my life also and to be aware and appreciate the lights in my life now and in the future…” Judy Williams, RN
“In the Valley of Childhood and it’s uncertainties, fears and joys we all can search for meaning for our lives today….” —Helen Warren
“Wherever we are in our own personal valleys, be it lost in a maze of trees or threatened by tumbling rocks overhead, Whalen stresses, one need not be afraid if one lets Jesus lead the way home.” —Goodreads Review
“This book takes a different approach to healing: instead of dwelling on the ugliness of the author’s childhood, she explores the “pieces of glass” that represents the good parts of it.” —online review
“Thanks be to God for this book! Chapter 12 gives so much hope for everyone.” Nancy Walker
