About Linda Kruschke
Linda L. Kruschke is a lawyer and rape overcomer who writes candid memoir and fearless poetry. She dreams of a day when God’s justice and mercy reign in perfect balance in her heart, and aspires to show other trauma survivors that through God’s redemption and healing they can overcome. Her column includes narrative nonfiction, stories that help the reader reach a deeper understanding of what justice and mercy really mean to them, by sharing what they mean to her.
