About this ebook

Sophie Writes a Love Story is the second in a series of books created in the memory of my mother and grandmother. My grandmother was given at her bridal shower in 1916 a set of five prints by C. Clyde Squires, a noted pulp artist. These prints depict five stages of love. My mother inherited this set of five prints from my grandmother, and always kept the frame in a prominent place in her home. The first book in the series is an expression of mother love, Annies Love. This second book is taken from the picture of puppy love.
Sophie Lincoln recently lost her husband, Carl, to a long-term illness, and her children have encouraged her to move to a small house. As she goes through boxes of papers and photos in the attic, she runs across a box containing a ring woven of twine, and a chain. These were a gift to her in her youth by a special boy named Donnie.
Sophies memories lead her back to her writing to tell a story of adventure with Sophie Writes a Love Story. She begins with excerpts from old journals she kept as a child with references to Donnie and the hideout in the timber, and she weaves the magic of story-telling into the entries she finds.
Don Ribold is retired and alone and has become depressed with life in general. A friend convinces him to take up a hobby of painting, long forgotten, and makes an introduction to an art teacher who helps him get back into his work. Sophie and Dons independence and individual pursuits of the arts will lead them to each other, and to a chance for love the second time around.

Linda Kay

Linda Kay Christensen, a former farm girl from central Illinois, has enjoyed many years as a bank manager, a self-employed accountant and tax preparer (CPA), and an online instructor for Keller Graduate School (DeVry University). She earned her undergrad in Business Management and her Masters in Human Resources from the University of Illinois, Springfield. Linda’s history in writing has included everything from business communication, teaching, and journaling to occasional poetry. Her inspiration for Annie’s Love comes from a series of five prints by C. Clyde Squires given to her grandmother in 1916 as a wedding gift. The characters in these prints will come alive in Linda’s series of the “five stages of love”. Linda helped her mother, Wilma Diekhoff, complete her memoirs in a book that includes 200 recipes from family and friends. Wilma held a book signing at Barnes and Noble at the age of 82. Flavors From The Past is now available in e-book format on Nook and Kindle. Linda is married to Jerry, a former engineer and now a master gardener, living in Fredericksburg, Texas. They have traveled extensively, meeting many characters who contribute to Linda’s writing.
