June 3, 2024 - Lynnette Bonner
USA Today Bestselling author Lynnette Bonner was born in Malawi, Africa, and spent the first years of her life reveling in warm equatorial sunshine and the late evening duets of cicadas and hyenas. The year she turned eight, she was off to Rift Valley Academy, a boarding school in Kenya where she spent many joy-filled years and graduated in 1990. That fall, she traded to a new duet–one of traffic and rain–when she moved to Kirkland, Washington to attend Northwest University. It was there that she met her husband, and a few years later they moved to the small town of Pierce, Idaho. During the time they lived in Idaho while studying the history of their little town, Lynnette was inspired to begin the Shepherd’s Heart Series with Rocky Mountain Oasis. Marty and Lynnette have four children and currently live in Washington where Marty pastors a church. |
