<strong>Linda Hanstra,</strong> a semi-retired speech-language pathologist, is living happily ever after-the-kids with her husband, Tom, in southwest Michigan. They spend summers at the lake in northern Minnesota—their home away from home. On quiet evenings and summer afternoons, you might find her reading, knitting, cycling, or kayaking. As a mother of four, and now "Lala" too, her family and faith bring her the deepest joy. The author of <em>Lent through the Little Things</em>, Linda has been writing, blogging, and encouraging readers for over ten years. Readers can find her work at lindahanstra.com and on Substack.
