Press Release: Writer Pens a Compelling Medical-Mystery Memoir

Linda A Marshall MDiv A Love Awakening to Grace book cover

A Long Awakening to Grace: a memoir of loss and discovery by Linda A. Marshall, M.Div. has been published by Emergings Press of Dayton, Ohio. Marshall’s deeply moving memoir was introduced at the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation conference in San Francisco in September 2017. Professionals, myotonic carriers, and caregivers praised Marshall for naming the most devastating central nervous system effects experienced by her family. Written like a reader-friendly medical mystery, the memoir provides in-depth information vital to researchers pursuing a cure and inspires hope and courage to those struggling with the weight of undiagnosed genetic riddles.

Marshall’s book is filled with poignant life lessons, describing her growth in wisdom and strength as she tenaciously searched for twenty-two years to understand the cause of her children’s puzzling behavior while at the same time dealing with stifling gender roles and biases experienced by women coming of age in the 1960s. Readers who love stories of triumph over adversity find A Long Awakening to Grace hard to put down.

Marshall donated 100% of the proceeds from the September conference sale of her memoir and continues to donate a portion of the proceeds from ongoing sales to the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation. She is available for interviews, book club discussions, and presentations focusing on the power of perseverance while facing insurmountable obstacles, giving an inside look at a family struggling to deal with tragic situations that defied understanding.
