Acknowledgments

With each story I write, my faith continues to grow, solidifying what I know to be true—that there is a beautiful world waiting for us when we leave this earthly existence. When I hear that someone has doubts about this, it hurts my heart, and I long to show that person the peace that comes along with this knowledge. But, my journey is my own, and others have to find their own way to this wonderful understanding about what awaits us. It’s my hope and prayer that at least one non-believer will explore the possibility that heaven truly is for real.

God blesses me with stories to tell. None of them are exclusively mine to claim, so dear Lord, thank You again.

To my publishing team at HarperCollins Christian Fiction, you all are amazing, and I’m so blessed to be a part of this publishing process, hopefully entertaining and ministering to those who can benefit from our team effort.

Natasha Kern, you are special in so many ways. As an agent, you tirelessly guide me with regard to my career, but you are also a trusted friend. Peace be with you.

To my assistant and dear friend Janet Murphy, you are appreciated and loved more than you know. I’m sure I don’t tell you that often enough, but please know that you hold a special place in my heart, and on a personal and professional level, I’d be lost without you.

I’d be remiss not to mention my husband, Patrick. Dear, you keep the ground steady beneath my feet. Thank you for loving me. I love you to the moon and back . . . forever.

Friends and family, you continue to bless and support me on this wonderful journey, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
