re-Post of Thursday 3/18/21 Linda K Olson shares her incredible story, becoming a triple amputee at 29, how she overcame, then being diagnosed with Parkinson's at 65 and how she stays positive! Her website https://lindakolson.com/ Book review by Affinity magazine Gone: A Memoir of Love, Body, and Taking Back My Life is a memoir by triple-amputee Linda Olson. While, admittedly, memoir isn’t my genre of choice, Olson’s story was incredible and enticing. From the first page, I was drawn into Olson’s narrative and consumed the rest of the book quickly thereafter. Olson is witty, honest, and resilient. She bars no details about her incredible recovery: every detail of Olson’s miraculous story is conveyed through Gone. She doesn’t ask for pity, in fact, she repeatedly infuses humor into her situation in an attempt to make both the reader and her family laugh! Gone was a wholly enjoyable and inspiring read for me, especially at a time when reflection and perspective are necessary.
