A whimsical, true tale that proves sometimes
the bravest thing you can be ... is yourself.

This book shares Lynn's 16-year journey with Parkinson’s—from the first confusing symptoms to finally facing the diagnosis she hid for over five years. Along the way, she searched for hope, learned what truly matters, and discovered that Parkinson’s does not define her. She offers the tips and small victories that helped her move forward, with the hope that her story brings comfort to anyone hearing the words, “You have Parkinson’s.”

In her fist book, Lynn shares her journey as a single mom in the 1970s, raising two energetic boys while working full-time and trying to hold everything together. It’s a story of chaos, love, determination, and the small moments that made it all worth it.
Lynn has had a passion for storytelling her whole life. As a single mom raising two rambunctious boys and a mischievous dog—while managing a demanding career as an executive in a large tech company—she learned quickly that humor and kindness were her greatest allies. Those everyday moments, both chaotic and tender, continue to inspire the stories she tells today.
Her latest book, Winnie the Doodle that Was Different, is a whimsical yet true story about her sweet dog trying to make the best of a difficult situation.
Lynn has authored two other books, Curveballs and Knockout: One Woman’s Fight Against Parkinson’s, both deeply personal stories told with honesty, humor, and lessons learned.
