She was very close to her paternal Grandmother and spent a lot of time there as she grew up. Her Grandmother played a very important roll in life, hence Linda called her Mom. Mom read many stories to Linda and told her stories about her family. Because of this warm loving Woman, Linda learned and loved to read. She loved story telling. When Linda was 11, her family moved to Lodi, California. It was a beautiful little town, great for kids to grow up in. Linda loved school and continued to read as much as she could and write for school. She kept diaries which lead to Journals. She still has those diaries and journals and still reads them today. She graduated and went to college in Stockton, Ca. Married and raised two wonderful sons. Linda started this book years ago, but since she had her own legal service business, there was little time to write. She was an Independent Paralegal for over 25 years. When she slowed down and retired, it gave her the time to work on her book and now it is ready for you to enjoy.
