Author Linda S. Plunkett, PhD, has announced the release of her second book. Due out in April 2023 from Gatekeeper Press, “Living a Positive Life in a Negative World: My Uphill Journey” provides a message of hope and inspiration as well as tools to help people.
Plunkett offers healing tools for the body, brain, mind, and spirit in addition to providing a path to healing for readers who are going through hopelessness, depression, or who have felt separated from God.
“Since my first book was published and as I’ve continued to share my story, I've found myself still getting so many questions and hearing from people who are dealing with adversity,” Plunkett explains. “They come to me wanting answers in the form of practical steps that they can take either with health issues or post-pandemic challenges and sometimes even both. Writing this second book gives me a sense of being in service because I didn’t know where to turn when a major medical institution told me, ‘I’m sorry but there’s nothing more we can do for you’ when my recovery wasn’t progressing the way I thought it should.”
Told in her first book, “Supernatural Rescue: From Broken to Beautiful,” Plunkett’s story involves having been diagnosed with a tumor the size of a tennis ball growing in her brain’s frontal lobe and not only having to undergo an eight-hour brain surgery to have it removed, but, suffering through its devastating after effects, plus, eight months later, an intense battle with fibromyalgia.
“This new book is my comeback story,” Plunkett said. “This was a hard book for me to write, but I’m being transparent. These are things I had to battle through. Honestly, because of reliving the events as I wrote, this was probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to do.”
She goes on to add, however, “This book is about the reader. It’s not about me. What can you do when you don’t know what to do and you don’t have the tools? I’m providing solutions and I’m offering hope.”
