ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It is an honor to dedicate this novella to the bravest little four-year-old I know—Raelyn Cutbirth. Your beautiful smile and loving soul left an imprint on my heart and the hearts of many. I love you, sweet angel.

Much thanks to my fabulous partners at HarperCollins Christian Fiction and to my awesome agent, Natasha Kern. It always takes a team effort, and I’m glad we’re on this journey together.

Amy Clipston, Kathy Fuller, and Vannetta Chapman—love working with you gals. You all rock!

To my husband Patrick, my assistant Janet, friends and family, I could never do this without your love and support. I’m blessed to have you all in my life.

And God gets the glory for all that I am and all that I do. I pray He will continue to bless me with stories to tell.
