THROUGH UNKNOWN DOORS highlights the lifelong journey of Dr. Linda J. Stillman. The intent was to highlight her numerous inter-cultural/global adventures and anecdotes, as experiential episodes, both challenging and rewarding. The key themes emphasize:
Culture & Communication Matter
Life Happens While Making Plans
New York Minute Decisions
Zero Tolerance Towards Violence.
As she discovered her multi-layered destiny through constant opportunities and change, she studied to obtain degrees that would complement her experiences to fulfill emerging passions. Her journey revolved around entering unknown doors that resulted in successes and missteps down unusual paths crisscrosses the immortal poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. The memoirs also illuminate influential people in her life, focusing on their productive and positive impact.
As she traversed through frequent unknown doors, the myriad of eclectic experiences expanded her horizons far beyond home state New Hampshire. She engaged with vivid cultures and various communities when living amidst Arabic, Communist, Nordic, European, Asian societies, plus unique Manhattan -- before her recent return to reside in New England after half a century.
