Linda Baileys Dreams

• Like many of us, Linda Bailey had varying
  dreams of what she would be in the future. As a
  child, Linda already showed signs of becoming an
  author. When Linda was growing up in the
  Prairies, she would often climb a tree where no
  one could see her. Here she would read away from
  the curious eyes of others. She also spent time
  daydreaming, a skill that is invaluable to most
  authors. In fact, sometimes Linda daydreamed too
  much and got herself in trouble. She also dreamed
  of becoming a worldwide traveler. Later on, she
  found out she could do both.
