Where the Stork Flies, coming soon from Sand Hill Review Press!
“When a woman’s search for her best life pushes away her family, it takes a pair of unlikely time travelers to teach her the meaning of unconditional love.“
Linda C. Wisniewski writes about life and the connections we make by giving each other the space and time to be heard.
Former feature writer and columnist for the Bucks County Herald and the Bucks County Womens Journal
Teacher of memoir workshops at the historic Pearl Buck House in Dublin, PA.
Author of the memoir, Off Kilter: A Woman’s Journey to Peace With Scoliosis, Her Mother and Her Polish Heritage, published by Pearlsong Press.
Is it ever too late to change your life? In this heartfelt memoir, a middle aged woman recalls a troubled childhood, releases her mother’s pain and rejects a life of suffering to finally create her own happiness.
“I stood as tall as I could, but by the time I was in eighth grade, my back was visibly curved. I felt inadequate and even guilty. I thought, surely, if I tried hard enough, I’d be able to stand up straight. “
– excerpt from Off Kilter
Linda’s essay, “Thirty-Two Words for Peace,” won first prize in the 2018 Susan Wittig Albert Life-writing Competition sponsored by Story Circle Network.
Her essay, “Late Blessing,” was a finalist for the Ruminate Magazine Spiritual Nonfiction Award

Linda, your comment on Linda Hoye’s blog today prompted me to visit here. I grew up in Pennsylvania, which I write about in my memoir Mennonite Daughter: The Story of a Plain Girl, set in Lancaster County. Like you, I share out of victory, not victimhood.
I have a late-life diagnosis of scoliosis. Right now, I go to a chiropractor and will consult with my doctor about my bone density test. Oy Vey!

HI, Marian, don’t you just love LInda Hoye’s writing? And I really like your phrase “victory, not victimhood.” If I use it, I will give you credit. 😉 Good look with scoliosis. I find yoga is very helpful.

My go-to is Pilates, now on Zoom with my friends from the gym. I find the most fun thing about blogging is keeping up with friendships virtually.
Thanks for replying here, Linda.
