I am a native of Idaho and grew up a farmer's daughter in a tiny rural town of 400 people. I have worked in the legal field for 30+ years, and have three amazing sons, two fabulous daughters-in-law, one incredible granddaughter, and two grand-furbabies.

I enjoy ballroom dancing, Netflix binging, and hanging out with my peekapoo (Pekingese poodle), Max.

I am a cancer thriver, diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma - I'm thrilled to say I've already outlived the "average" expectancy. (If you are curious, my cancer color is lime green.)

I have a heart for volunteering and everything underdog - people, animals, and teams.

I believe every book should be given a chance and that none, no matter the content, should be banned - it is up to us to monitor

After the Diagnosis

Six-years ago...

6-years ago today, I began what would be a three-year trek to save my life. I had just received a diagnosis of an incurable lymphoma.

For the first year, it began commuting 1,800 each way, several times a month for a clinical trial, and ended up with me inpatient locally for chemo, followed by two years of maintenance infusions. By my own choice, I then ‘divorced ‘ my on

While I got it, I didn't really understand it. Very jumbled, discombobulated. I mean, I got it, but it was so jolting the way it was here and there and the thoughts were all over (again, I get it, but it could have been told so much better, IMO). ...more

I love Kate Quinn's writing, and The Briar Club is no exception. But for Quinn fans, this one is quite a leap from her other books.

Set in the 1950s McCarthy era, the story follows the lives of the tenants living in a boarding house: The failed-to-ge

Lynda Riggers is 40% done with The Briar Club: Not at all what I expected as a Kate Quinn fan. Not suggesting that is bad, just that this is not her typical type or style of writing/book. Stay tuned for more...

I had a 4-day book hangover following this one. To be fair, I can't say I've met a TJR book that I didn't love, that I don't remember long after the last word, and that I wouldn't recommend. Atmosphere definitely falls into that camp.

This is a sweet story, surprise, about a Cornish midwife. It's one of those soft, cuddly, all-around feel-good stories that is more Hallmarky than Netflix, but definitely has its place when you need a story that takes the hard edges off your world.

“I choose not to be bitter and angry because I feel there is a bigger message that I am supposed to share beyond the fact that I have cancer.”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“When you get sick you will be surprised by who steps up and who steps away. I can honestly say I did not think this would apply to me. I could not imagine that anyone in my family or circle of friends would not be there for me. Wrong!”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“It is exhausting explaining over and over again that yes, I am doing great and I feel fantastic, but I still cannot do the things I once did. My new normal with Cancer Related Fatigue.”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have”
Bob Marley Quote

“You have made me whole and complete, fixed a brokenness I didn't think possible.”
Lynda Wolters, The Placeholder

“I've learned it's okay to love more than one person.”
