KCPW, NPR Radio Mountain Life "GONE: A Memoir of Love, Body, and Taking Back My Life with Dr. Linda K. Olson"
Kirkus Reviews "Inspirational, gripping, and a testament to positive thinking." (Linda K. Olson, Gone: A Memoir of Love, Body, and Taking back My Life)
Boomer Magazine Book Review: "If Gone were fiction, you might find yourself rolling your eyes at the protagonist’s unrealistic accomplishments and boundless optimism. But, as a nonfiction book, your eyerolls will likely be replaced with goosebumps considering these 'unrealistic accomplishments' were not concocted by a writer’s imagination, but are, in fact, part of a very true – and wildly inspiring – story."
