ⓘ About Linda Ford
Linda Ford is an American author best known for writing popular contemporary Christian fiction. Among her novels include the “Wild Rose Country”, “Montana Skies”, “Big Sky Country”, “Dakota Bride”s, and the “Depression Series” among several others. As a child, Ford had a dream that was surprisingly not to be an author, but rather to run an orphanage and have a huge family with twelve children. As such, it was not a surprise when she got married, got four children and adopted ten more to live her dream. Nonetheless, while she never grew up wanting to be an author, she has come to be one of the best contemporary Western fiction authors of our times. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Big Sky Country Books series, Linda Ford has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
