Linday Crosby’s Memoir “The Day My Life Changed (An Accident Survivor)” To Be Displayed at the L.A. Times Festival of Books 2026

The self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will display Linda Crosby’s deeply moving memoir, “The Day My Life Changed (An Accident Survivor)” (featuring her husband Roy), at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2026. The book event will take place at the University of Southern California Campus in Los Angeles on April 18-19, 2026. This feature brings forward a powerful narrative of survival, faith, and perseverance that resonates with readers facing life’s unexpected trials.

In this poignant memoir, Linda chronicles her life before, during, and after a life-changing accident. She was once an independent woman, but suddenly she found herself dependent on other people, disabled, and in pain. Written with the help of a speech-to-text system because of her bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, the book is a triumph of her courage and spirit.

More than a story of hardship, “The Day My Life Changed (An Accident Survivor)” reflects unwavering faith. Linda speaks candidly about daily struggles, from physical pain to emotional challenges, while highlighting the sustaining power of God’s grace. Alongside her is her husband and caregiver, Roy, who battles cancer, heart disease, and Graves’ disease. Together, their story becomes one of shared endurance and spiritual resilience.

Linda Crosby is a God-fearing wife, stepmother, sister, aunt, friend, and a U.S. Army veteran. She is also the author of three other books “Sweet Baby (Peace Of Mind),” “The Day I Experienced (Bloodlines),” and “The Day I Found The LORD (For Myself).” She contributed to the poetry collection “The Sound of the Collective Pen,” which won the 2025 LITSTAR Book Award for Outstanding Poetry Book. While she is not the direct recipient of the award—which was given to the publishing company for the collaborative book—she is a contributing author to that award-winning anthology.

Her health is further declining, so she is unable to attend church and is no longer the President of the Pastor’s Aide Ministry, but she is a member of the Ministry.
