Van Omme, Linda: - Linda (MacLeod) van Omme grew up the infamous 'middle child' on the family farm on beautiful Prince Edward Island, with her two sisters, her parents, and her grandparents, all in the same house. She trained for a career as an occupational therapist, married the man she loves, has three dear, and almost perfect, daughters (and now five totally perfect grandchildren) and worked for 42 years, all across Canada, with the delightful 'mixed bag' of Canadians who inhabit this great country. Her books, though fictional, reflect this experience.
