she understands

A good friend went through a separation. My marriage was strong, so I kept silent. After all, what did I have to say? But this book is written by someone who has walked in my friend's shoes. She understands how my friend feels because she has experienced the heartache, the anger, the loss, the confusion, and the hope that things might get better. It is a perfect resource to place in my friend's hands. It's written in devotion style, which makes perfect sense since my friend says that she's living one day at a time. Thanks, Linda W. Rooks, for writing this book for women who don't need pithy statements, but to know that someone else has walked in their shoes with hope and faith.

Amazing - thank you so much, Linda

Linda - thank you so much for writing this book. I'm reading another Christian book on separation; and it does have good insight. But there is something so precious and valuable from hearing from a Christian woman who has GONE THROUGH what she is writing about. I identify with so much of what she says and, while I've only just started reading the book, and I'm only a few weeks into a separation from my husband, I have a feeling that what she says is real wisdom. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend this book.

separation to solve relationship cancer

Often I refer to major relationship problems as a 'cancer' that requires rapid response to prevent further damage from the disease. A failing marriage often takes on the same traits as a major illness... the marriage is dying and without attention it will come to an end through divorce. Thankfully Linda's excellent book on the value of separation will be like chemotherapy for dying marriages and will likely save many of them from ending in a divorce because of the practical insights and systematic approach to come to a place of peaceful resolution on the road to restoration. It's invaluable from a counseling perspective and may be exactly what you need to save your marriage. This would be a great tool to give to friends or family members who don't want a divorce, but know that something's got to change. Structured separations may be the answer they are looking for and this book will show them how.

Not Just Another Marriage Book

As a marriage seminar speaker, I am always on the lookout for fresh approaches to the topic of marriage. BHOH is not just another marraige book. It is a close friend with love and compassion for the heartbroken, it is the trusted mentor with wisdom for the struggling-to-hold-it-together, and it is the voice of experieince tenderly calling you to take one more step of faith. There are no pat answers here, no quick and easy solutions. Whether you are hurting in your own marriage, or need that "I'm here and I care about you" gift for a friend who is hurting, I highly recommend Broken Heart on Hold. I will at my marriage seminars and I'm certain it will soon become a favorite of marraige counselors everywhere.

Really Helpful

I bought this book before my husband moved out and it really did become a "friend". The author went through a long separation herself and it was encouraging to not only read some of her story but other women's too.


reviews: page 1, 2



A woman who is separated needs a friend to walk beside her on her difficult journey. Broken Heart on Hold is that friend, one that will uplift, encourage, and hold her up while offering practical insights and pointing her to God. It is a book of hope. Because it is written by a woman who has gone through the trauma of a separation and the eventual healing of her own marriage, the reader will know she is not alone.

This collection of honest, heartfelt messages reaches down into the valleys of a woman?s loneliness, travels with her through her mental labyrinths, and sheds light in the dark tunnels where answers seem nonexistent. It provides the emotional and spiritual strength to help a woman sort through her confusion. While winding her way through the maze of her emotions, she will realize there is hope as she hangs on to God and trusts him for the outcome. Broken Heart on Hold is a book she will return to again and again.
