Linda Hoye is a writer, editor, adoptee, and somewhat-fanatical grandma.

Her memoir, Two Hearts: An Adoptee’s Journey Through Grief to Gratitude, is the story of her journey through unfathomable grief; of  what it took to go into the abyss of deep-seated wounding, to feel the pain, and to come out the other side: whole, healed, and thankful.

She currently lives in Washington state with her husband and their two doted-upon Yorkshire Terriers and is counting down the months until retirement, when they plan to move back to Canada to be closer to the grandchildren.
