Linda Vigen Phillips finds passion in creating realistic fiction told in verse, to offer hope to teens and their families who face mental or physical health challenges.
This one's not so easy...
figuring out what or who you are
deep down in your core, you know
solid,
peaceful,
rounded
like a river rock
and how you are going to live it out,
especially
given your life circumstances
at the moment. (from Behind These Handsi>)
Linda's latest novel, Behind These Hands, tells the story of 14-year-old Claire Fairchild whose world enters a tailspin when she learns her brothers will succumb to an early and ugly death at the hands of Batten Disease. Her debut novel, Crazy, depicts the struggles of a teenage girl in the 1960's coming to terms with her mother's bipolar disorder. It earned numerous accolades, including Foreword Reviews lndieFab Book of the Year Finalist, the short-list for SCBWI Crystal Kite Award, and an Honor book for the Paterson Prize for Books.

Fans of Jason Reynolds, Kenzie Hart, Elizabeth Acevedo, Kwame Alexander, McCall Hoyle, and Julie Buxbaum will find themselves drawn to Linda's stories and characters.
Linda enjoys conducting writing workshops, spending time with her grandkids, and advocating for better mental health through her involvement with National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). She lives in Charlotte, NC where she and her husband love to sit on the screened porch to watch the grass grow.
