KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Kelseyville resident Linda Guebert has released her memoir, “The Hardest Thing I’ll Ever Do: A Journey of Sorrow, Healing & Hope.”

Through this book Guebert shares her personal grief journey following the sudden death of her husband Ken Kysely in 2000, only nine months after they were married.

At times heartrending, occasionally funny, “The Hardest Thing I’ll Ever Do” is a powerful story of healing and personal growth, moving through sorrow, anger and despair to renewed hope and commitment to life.

“I believe this book can be a valuable resource for anyone who has suffered the loss of someone they love,” says Guebert. “And I hope it will also help those who want to understand the grief process and offer support to others.”

Guebert, who has lived in Lake County for more than 20 years, teaches ESL classes at Mendocino College, is active in community theater and hosts a weekly program of American roots music on KPFZ radio.

Her latest book, a mystery titled “The First Lie,” is scheduled for publication this fall.

“The Hardest Thing I’ll Ever Do” is available at Watershed Books in Lakeport and online at www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com .
