The author, Linda Hartford, is a Mom, a Nana, and a retired Registered Nurse. She worked 53 years and loved every bit of it except for writing the nursing notes. So naturally, now she is a prolific writer. Born in Brooklyn, NY, she trained at St. Luke’s Hospital, worked in Medical, Surgical and Psychiatry for 20 years and in Florida worked 30 years in Home Health. Now she lives in a wooded area of Chapel Hill, North Carolina with her 2 dogs, a friend and her 3 cats, and hundreds of birds in residence or migrating through. Life is good.
