About the Author

Linda Penner learned how much a sense of humor, and a funny book, can help to get through the dark days of divorce. With firsthand experience at the trials of being a single mother and career woman, she vowed to channel her own life experiences into a humorous, satirical examination of the aftereffects of divorce in support of other women going through similar crises.


Penner is an accomplished writer. She became passionate about writing and storytelling as a young child, took college literary programs, and is currently in a writer's club. Her work has been published in Canadian Stories Magazine and The LifeStory Institute.


Penner spent her career in the financial industry. She now lives a charmed life of retirement in southern Alberta, Canada with her dog, Beau, and Syd, her stalwart and true Frog Prince.
