Linda Brierly is a nurse and international traveler, who has lived, worked, and played in various cross-cultural settings. Today, she lives twenty-four kilometers up the mountain from Clearwater, British Columbia, Canada, with her husband of over fifty years, Bill, in a five-hundred-square-foot hunter's cabin by a creek, surrounded by trees, bears, deer, moose, and many birds and small critters. Linda and Bill founded a non-profit faith-based community development organization, Hope of the Pokomchi-the English name for Asociacion Sakombai Pokon (ASOSAP)-in Guatemala, in 2004, empowering the nationals to take control and run it successfully. In 2023, Linda was shortlisted in the unpublished author In the Beginning contest by Christian writer's group The Word Guild, for the first three chapters of her memoir Edge of the Ledge.
