In July 2004, the author volunteered to work at a summer camp for Romanian orphans. "These children epitomized the word SURVIVOR. They were loving, energetic, and full of life despite the trauma of their existence. I found them needy, emotionally draining, and champions at overcoming their sorrow and loss. Etched in my heart are the stories of their lives." Journey of the Heart recounts the author's experience and the deeply moving stories of these children.

"Love your neighbor" For anyone considering an international trip to help those in need a read of Linda's book would be an excellent means of preparation. Linda captures the essence of needy children everywhere, whether their need is food, medicine, clothes, or parents, they all want one thing: to be valued. Through Linda's "drop in the bucket" effort she gave a number of orphans in Romania the chance to see the truth: that they are valuable and they are worthy of love and attention.
