Description

Biography

One of Linda’s earliest memories is of holding a book—and crying because she couldn’t read it. An only child whose father worked for the federal government, she moved often. She was born in Georgia, lived in Oklahoma and California, finally settling in Fairfax, Virginia. Visits to relatives in Georgia and southwestern Virginia were the constants in her life. In those places seeds were sown that would later grow into books.

Her father’s family was from Sandersville, Georgia. The high point of family reunions there was sitting around her grandmother’s old oak table and listening to her father and his brothers tell stories. Her mother came from Martinsville, Virginia, and going there was like stepping into the past. Her great-grandfather lived in a log cabin. Her great-aunt churned her own butter. Linda remembers her grandmother doing laundry in a wringer washer. Her uncle knew all about plant and animal life. When she went there, she saw stories all around her. And her family heritage didn’t just feed her imagination. Sitting in her great-aunt’s porch swing, she was introduced to the Lord Jesus Christ, and gave her life to Him.

Midway through high school, though, Linda’s father was transferred yet again—to Seattle, Washington. Linda was desperately unhappy about the move, but God had plans for good. Alone and discouraged in her new home, she renewed her commitment to Christ. However, things weren’t going well with her family. By the time Linda left home to attend college at Seattle Pacific University, her parents’ marriage had dissolved.
