The Heart Behind the Books
We’re Linda and Doug Hamilton — writers, educators, parents, and now, co-authors of the Nobody Told Me! book series.
Life gets overwhelming when you’re expected to just figure things out — we’ve been there. This book is made to make independence feel less lonely. Built from decades of real experience to help you avoid those “I wish someone had told me” moments — because honestly, nobody told us either.
