Lynda Vialet is a single mother with two sons. She spends most of her time working and providing for her family. She loves to cook; decorate; and host parties, barbeques, and events. She was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens, New York. She grew up in a household where her mother was a stay-at-home mom, and her father worked very hard to provide for and protect the family. She is the second oldest of four and the first girl, so she learned a lot of her nurturing and caring ways from watching her mom take care of not only her and her siblings but a majority of the entire family. Her mom was exclusively known as the family babysitter, so Lynda was raised among all her cousins and even some neighbors. She attended John Adams High School in Ozone Park, New York, and graduated at the age of seventeen with a regent's diploma. Throughout her early career, she focused on the medical field, becoming a medical assistant and then a certified nursing assistant, as it was always her passion to help others. The tragic events depicted in this book, along with her passion, led her toward a career in the human services profession. While working a full-time job and being a full-time mother and grandmother, she decided to show her children that it's never too late to follow your dreams. In December 2017, she accomplished a longtime goal of earning her college degree. She graduated from Ashford University Online with a bachelor's degree in health and human services and a 3.36 GPA. She is an entrepreneur and now an accomplished author. She works as a tech support advisor while building a credit restoration agency. She currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
