Writing from the Heart - A Crusader for Love and Justice

​

Linda Moore Kurth has always been a creator … interior design, weaving, and teaching art were her passions. In mid-life she turned to writing, combining her creativity with advocacy for love, the kind of love that’s hopeful, open-minded, curious, authentic, and yes, sometimes, romantic. If you read carefully, you’ll find love in all of her books, from a captive orca, to romance, to women’s divorce recovery. No wonder she named her personal publishing company, “Home of the Heart Press.”

Home of the Heart: When Careers Collide While falling in love, Matt, an outdoors reporter, and Meg, an interior designer, ultimately learn to truly love by understanding and respecting each other’s wants and needs.

Keiko’s Story: Free Willy Star Finds Home is a blending of Linda’s artistic sensibilities (the placement of so many wonderful photos) with love and advocacy for captive cetaceans. This reviewer sums it up: Keiko’s Story is a beautifully told and fascinating book about a lonely, ailing orca. It’s a story of love and hope and going the extra mile to right a terrible wrong. Another reader commented: This book is a place for many people to make connection to one of the gentlest giants that has ever lived. Written from a pure heart for Keiko, this story touches my own heart. (Available from Barnes & Noble and Amazon, or order through your favorite bookstore.)

God, the Devil, and Divorce: A Transformative Journey out of Emotional and Spiritual Abuse tells the story of Linda’s marriage and divorce recovery from her “crazymaking” spouse; and how she learned to trust God along the way. A reader remarked: Linda Moore Kurth is a soulful, big-hearted survivor whose suffering has somehow not made her bitter but passionate — passionate to help others escape abusive situations and to cultivate advocates for those who are suffering. Another reader posted: This book is written straight from the heart. (Available from Barnes & Noble and Amazon, or order through your favorite bookstore.) Now available as an audio book!

​

God and Divorce Recovery: Stories of Help, Hope, and Healing for the Journey is a compilation of Linda’s blog posts (now-shuttered) written to encourage women recovering from divorce while advocating for churches to be supportive of them. The variety of topics spans learning to live alone to how to find love again and many compelling topics in between. A reader’s note: Linda writes like a trusted friend. In reading Linda's book you will experience understanding, renewed faith, and assurance you are not alone. (Available from Amazon)

Linda lives with her husband in the home of their hearts in a verdant valley in northwest Washington State between the mountains and the sea, and not too far from her favorite temperate rainforest. (She’s a tree hugger.) When Linda isn’t cooking up new stories, she’s often creating new recipes with produce from her garden. She’s very grateful for her readers’ interest and encouragement in her writing.
