I have wanted to write a book like this for over fifteen years. It wouldn’t exist without the true story of my wife, Kathy, and the encouragement of the many who prayed before and during the writing process. I appreciate the consistent support for my novels I’ve received from Allen Arnold, Daisy Hutton, and Amanda Bostic at Thomas Nelson Publishing. The value of the input and advice for this story from my editors, Becky Monds, Jacob Whitlow, and Deborah Wiseman, is beyond words to thank. You know how much I appreciate you.
