Laura Kendall

Author

Laura Kendall is a new and upcoming author who grew up in a small town in Northern California. She shares her struggles and successes with a birth defect after years of hard work, acceptance of her limitations and healing. She hopes her life experience will not only establish herself as an author worth reading, but most of all, be a catalyst for anyone dealing with any kind of physical or mental difference. We can all be accepted for who we are, and her journey begins with loving herself first.

Laura spends her free time traveling, enjoying music/concerts, volunteering at SPCA of Solano County (a local non-profit animal shelter), and being a happy homemaker, wife, and grandmother. She is recently retired and living on the California Delta with her husband, John.
