SHERMAN, Conn. - s4story -- Emerald Lake Books is honored to announce the release of Navigating Transitions: Embracing Change and Finding Purpose, a deeply insightful and uplifting new book by psychologist and first-time author Linda Burks, PhD.

Drawing on over four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Burks takes readers by the hand through one of life's universal experiences—change. Whether triggered by loss, illness, retirement, divorce or unexpected upheaval, transitions often shake the foundation of who we believe ourselves to be. Rather than resisting those moments, she offers a transformative invitation to engage with them as catalysts for spiritual clarity, emotional growth, and profound purpose.

"Navigating Transitions is an authoritative guide to unlocking the power of purpose by embracing life's most difficult moments," says Richard Leider, bestselling author of The Power of Purpose. "Based on a lifetime of experience, it offers practical value and comfort for anyone facing the trials of transition."
