It's July 13th 1977 and New York City is languishing during a record-breaking heat wave. Linda Martinez is trying to succeed in her career while holding on to her Puerto Rican heritage she was raised to hold dear in the Bronx. Linda meets Gabe when she enters a bookstore to escape the sweltering heat. Gabe is a distinguished, handsome man who helps Linda understand the death of her brother, Michael, who was killed in action five years earlier in Vietnam. The time Linda spends with Gabe is nothing short of heavenly, and with Gabe's encouragement, Linda finds herself thinking less about the scorching heat that all but suffocates a city held in darkness during an electrical outage, and more about fulfilling her life's dream. At the dawning of a new day, Linda's life, and her brother's memory will take on a whole new meaning
Biographical Note

She attained her Journalism degree at Marshall University and is a proud member of AXO sorority.
