Author Lynn Assimacopoulos began writing at the age of six and had wanted to be a journalist, however, she ended up going to nursing school instead. She then worked at the Red Cross, a home health care agency and prominent local hospital ICUs in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Later in her career, she decided to apply to the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, a non-profit long-term care organization, for a temporary six-week Nurse Writer position since she really enjoyed writing and after being hired, she was elated. “Since the very first day, I loved every minute of it,” Lynn says. “I continually prayed that they would need me to stay on permanently.” Her prayer was answered at the end of those six weeks. The temporary job became a part-time job and, later, a full-time position as a Nurse/Writer Project Consultant. As the sole Nurse/Writer on staff, Lynn aided in the writing of departmental policy and procedure manuals with the Society’s nursing, dietary, social work, activities, medical records and therapy consultants. She also taught a class on cultural awareness for some of the Society’s workshops as well as obtained continuing education credits for the various disciplines.
The writings in this book are true non-fiction experiences occurring at various times and occasions with family or friends. Each can easily be viewed as a lesson in life from God who continues to be present whether people realize it or not. He knows everyone well and walks beside each life’s journey. For this, people surely need to indeed be thankful and humble.
“I THOUGHT THERE WAS ROAD THERE… is a heartwarming, comforting and calming cup of hot cocoa, nestled under warm blankets on a rainy day. I found this book to be very calming. The stories are like medicine for the soul,” (a fascinating review by Alyice Edrich, a Freelance Author and Writer & Editor of the TheDabblingmum.com).
