Linda Vigen Phillips writes realistic fiction that offers hope and encouragement to young adults and families facing mental or physical challenges. Her acclaimed debut novel, Crazy, depicts a teenage girl in the 1960’s coming to terms with her mother’s bipolar disorder. This book, drawn from Linda’s own family experience, has led to her involvement with NAMI-Charlotte, and her role in co-founding Providence Place (https://nami-charlotte.org/partnerships/ ), a drop-in center for persons with mental health issues and their families. Like Crazy, Linda’s second book, Behind These Hands, is a Young Adult verse novel. Linda lives in Charlotte with her husband. Connect with her at lindavigenphillips.com or on Twitter @LVigenPhillips.
