Linda Olarin

My name is Linda Olarin. I live in Royal Oak, Michigan. I have five children and ten amazing grandchildren who teach me to see the beauty, the humor and the joy in the little things in life every day. I am an avid music lover and I love to cook. I am passionate about genealogy and I volunteer my time to help others learn about their family heritage. I am the author of two books. My first book "HELLucinate" made Amazon's best survivor memoir list. It is an absolutely unbelievable story about something horrifying that happened to me and that I still struggle with. My life became a living Hell and I saw no way out. My favorite book review said, "Somebody needs to call Kathy Bates and let her know this is her next best selling movie! My mind is blown". I didn't want to just be remembered for something so horrible that happened to me. I wrote my second book "A Grandmother's Prayer". It is about my wonderful relationship with my oldest grandson until he became a young man. I talk about the fears and worries, as well as the joy, of being a grandmother. It is a very heartfelt story that has beautiful illustrations. It is listed as a children's book, but I think that every grandparent would love this book. It also makes a wonderful baby shower gift. P.S. If anybody knows Kathy Bates give her a call or have her contact me. (wishful thinking)
