We’re so pleased to be hosting a thoughtful and uplifting Bookstagram Tour for How I Learned to Stop Saluting Magpies, a memoir about resilience, reinvention and gently loosening fear’s grip.
This is a deeply personal yet warmly relatable story about what happens when life doesn’t go to plan — and how small, intentional acts can slowly lead us back to ourselves.
🖤 About the Book
Lynn grew up believing that saluting magpies could keep bad luck away.
But when illness, financial ruin and divorce unravel her world, she is forced to face a difficult truth: superstition isn’t saving her.
At rock bottom, she creates a lifeline — a list of experiences she has always meant to try. Small treats. Adventures. Moments of courage. What begins as distraction slowly becomes transformation.
There are trains across America. Flamingos in flight. Clifftop fears. Long-buried secrets. And, step by step, a woman learning to let go of inherited anxieties and move — cautiously but bravely — towards joy.
This memoir is funny, reflective and quietly powerful — a reminder that healing rarely arrives in dramatic bursts, but often in small, deliberate choices.
