(Nashville, TN - February 16, 2024) Lindy Boone, the second of four daughters born to legendary entertainer and artist Pat Boone and Shirley (Foley) Boone, is releasing a new single titled “Wordlayer” on March 8. Boone recently wrote and recorded the track with Nashville songwriter Anne Buckle, a gift from her daughter. Her three sisters, Cherry, Debby, and Laury, who in the ‘70s along with their mom and dad toured across the United States and around the world as “The Boone Family,” joined her at Starstruck Studios in Nashville, Tennessee from November 13-14, 2023 to record the song. 
 
Pat Boone was on hand to share the happy and emotional reunion, lavishing in the beauty of his daughters’ voices and thinking of his late wife, Shirley, who taught the girls their four-part harmonies when the family was touring. “Wordlayer” will be released by Pat Boone’s Gold Label to all streaming services on March 8, 2024.

“Wordlayer” was Lindy Boone’s early Twitter username, made up when she began sharing about her son’s, Ryan Corbin, accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury (TBI). She explained, “I loved the idea of laying my words down creatively to walk us into the next phase of life. I had a strong belief by that time that words are very powerful, and we treat them very loosely sometimes.”
 
On June 19, 2001, Corbin stepped through a skylight and fell three stories onto a cement floor. He was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center in Westwood in extremely critical condition with multiple internal injuries, severe internal bleeding, and a serious brain injury. The doctors did not expect him to live.
 
Boone recalled the moment she was notified about the accident, saying, “I was in Spain on vacation when I received the call from my sister, Debby. It was a horrendous 24-hour trip home.” The Boone family was thrown into the world of TBI, and their lives were forever divided into two halves – before and after.
 
As Corbin lingered between life and death in intensive care, the Boones decided to take action and appeared on such shows as Larry King Live, CNN News, and NBC Today, sharing their faith and asking millions of television viewers to pray for Corbin. That was the beginning of the roller coaster ride of TBI and a journey through suffering Boone had never known.
 
“It was the start of a decade of teaching me through suffering,” Boone shared. “I had never suffered in my life. I’d had a charmed childhood – a wonderful life, and then thrust into a limbo of ‘Is he going to be with us? Is he not ever coming back? Is he going to be in a coma forever?’”
 
Boone kept a journal through the first year and a half and was able to document enough to write a book titled Heaven Hears, released in 2013 by Tyndale House Publishers. The book received endorsements from Larry King, Roma Downey, Dr. Robert Schuller, Rick Warren, who was pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life, and many others.
 
“One of the lessons through my journey was the idea that how you speak really matters to the trajectory of the next phase of your life,” said Boone.
 
Since Corbin’s fall, Boone has learned a great deal about traumatic brain injury and has come to a new understanding of the faithfulness of God and the power of our words during times of deepest needs. In 2003, the Boone family established a non-profit in Ryan’s name called Ryan’s Reach to help survivors of brain injury and their families and has been providing funds for TBI survivors to receive therapy ever since. The charity has also opened two homes to provide care exclusively for brain injury survivors and recently launched TBI Talk, a podcast for insights into brain injury recovery. It offers another resource for those who have loved ones in the same situation and who may want to hear stories of other families going through a similar journey.
 
In the 1970s, Cherry, Lindy, Debby, and Laury Boone recorded pop covers and several Christian albums as “The Boone Girls,” including their Grammy award-nominated album First Class. Debby Boone went on to become a solo artist, hitting the top of the US charts with “You Light Up My Life,” winning three Grammys throughout her music career and being nominated 10 times.
