I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
—Robert Frost
Heart of This Family
My memoir Heart of This Family: Lessons in Down Syndrome and Love, is now available for purchase!
All proceeds from the sale of Heart of This Family will be directed to the Steve Cohen Fund administered by the Howard Center in Burlington, Vermont. I have included several ordering options below.
More Ordering Options — Shop Indie!!
VILLAGE BOOKS—I live less than a two-minute walk from this outstanding bookstore, and consequently spend WAY too much money there!
GREEN MOUNTAIN BOOKS—Located in Lyndonville, Vermont, this cozy place is understated, like much of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. But customers trust owner Kim Crady-Smith so much, that during the pandemic many who live out-of-state ask her to hand select and mail them a book each month!
CROW BOOKS—I love this quirky bookstore for its eclectic combination of new and used titles.
PHOENIX BOOKS—With three different locations in Vermont, the Burlington store is a place I visit each and every time I am in the “Queen City.”
NORWICH BOOKSTORE—Just “across the river” from Hanover, New Hampshire, in the lovely Vermont town of Norwich,
booksellers and founders, Penny McConnel and Liza Bernard, have enjoyed a loyal following for over 25 years.
STILL NORTH BOOKS AND BAR—The closing of the Dartmouth Bookstore a few years ago, left a gaping hole in downtown Hanover, New Hampshire. Fortunately this combination bookstore, bar and café stepped up and provided a much-needed course correction.
BOOKSHOP.ORG—An online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.
Also available at IndieBound and Amazon.

Cover Reveal – Heart of This Family
Writing my memoir wasn’t exactly easy so why did I think developing the “right” book cover would be any different? Given the title, the front had to include a heart. And I wanted to incorporate the colors blue and yellow, which the Down syndrome community uses to...
BECOMING REAL #6
Toward the end of HEART OF THIS FAMILY – Lessons In Down Syndrome And Love, I write the following: People. It had always been about people. The right people dropping into Steve’s life at just the right time. Individuals, not systems, had moved Steve forward in his life.
About Linda
I spent the first seventy-five years of my life in New England before moving to Bellingham, Washington, with my wife in 2013. After retiring from a career as a public school educator, I uncovered my passion for writing. I relish the vibrant and supportive community of writers who live in Bellingham. When not pounding away on my computer at my favorite coffee house, I can often be found walking along an ocean beach, my go-to place for inspiration and solace. I remain true to my roots by cheering on the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots.
