Of the four previous books written by L. Rudy Broomes, M.D. three reflect his personal journey. Sufficient Grace: Surviving Prostate Cancer described his ordeal during his first three years with prostate cancer. Let’s Make Lemonade, co-authored with his wife, Lauvenia, is a workbook about learning lessons from life’s difficult issues. Grand Dad Remembers Childhood Stories and the Pitch Lake Line recounts early childhood experiences. The fourth one, Giants and Grasshoppers, written as a children’s play, reflects his youthful imagination of a Biblical story. The tradition continues in Leaves from Life’s Tree. In it you will find that the original epigrams also reflect his insight gleaned from close contacts with friends, his family experiences, and from over three decades as a psychiatrist. Now retired, he is a Distinguished Life Fellow in the American Psychiatric Association. His wife of forty-nine hears is a retired registered nurse. The Broomes have two daughters, a psychiatrist and an attorney and two grand children. Be on the alert for his fifth book, On Eagles’ Wings, a interactive devotional keepsake.
