Linda Kennedy was born one of five children to missionaries in Nigeria, West Africa. She has enjoyed writing poetry and songs since an early age. The idea for this book came to mind over 20 years ago. However, it wasn't until becoming disabled after two failed back surgeries, that she sat down and wrote the first rough draft which is now completed. Linda has written and published her first novel and "The Beginning" of the series: Number of Man. Linda currently resides in Jefferson City, Missouri.
