Dianne Haley Vots on her sister Lynne: I knew she thought of me because wherever she went she always brought me presents. While I treasure all of those presents, I see now that she herself was the most precious gift.
About the author
Of Mike Johnson’s seven previous books, six are meticulously researched historical novels. His other book – Mascot, Minister, Man of Steel – pays tribute to the human spirit’s resilience by telling the story of kids he once knew who later faced serious adversity with courage and grace. In this his eighth book, Saga of a Singular Woman, Johnson tells the remarkable story of Lynne Haley Johnson – his wife, friend, lover, mother of their kids and his ace editor. Few people who knew Lynne were aware that she had begun her career as an editor at an atomic power laboratory operated by General Electric. Yes, Lynne had a keen intellect. She also possessed both a sense of whimsy that often had others in stitches and a bottomless reservoir of compassion for troubled family members and friends.
