Light Through Brick: The Linda Terrill Story

by Bonnie Wellensiek and Linda Terrill

"If she lives, she'll be a vegetable." That's how one nurse summed up Linda Terrill's future, as the toddler lay paralyzed in a San Francisco hospital in 1949. But as grim as her medical condition was, despite her resulting disability, Linda would face even greater obstacles. At a time when attitudes toward the treatment of children were very different, she was completely isolated from her family during hospitalizations that stretched on for months. When she returned home, her father's secret abuse isolated her in a different, deeper way. Yet Linda's story is one of triumph. It's the story of how hope penetrated the darkness of her father's lies, and a relentless faith brought her through the distorted shadows of depression and chronic pain to a mountaintop in the High Sierras. Her story would even bring her to the dusty streets of post-war Afghanistan where she traveled to bring hope to others.
