Linda Hanstra, a semi-retired speech-language pathologist, lives with her husband, Tom,  in southwest Michigan and spends summers in Northern Minnesota–their home away from home. Cruising along on their “empty-nest joyride,” they have four adult children, a daughter-in-love, and two adorable grandchildren.

Linda has been a member of the Christian Reformed Church in South Bend, Indiana, for over 35 years. She has recently served as elder, praise team member, and children's worship leader.
