Dear Reader:
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Thunder Creek and meeting Derek, Brooklyn, Alycia, Ruth, and the rest.
Although You’ll Think of Me is first and foremost a romance, it included some serious real-life issues—most specifically the longing for Daddy that is a tragic common thread in today’s society. I am a “daddyless daughter” myself, losing my father when I was an infant, and I have come to understand how that absence deeply affected my life, both personal and spiritual.
Included after this note is an excerpt from a paper I wrote a few years ago about this crisis in our society. I used tidbits in the pages of this novel, but there is far more to share. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it. Perhaps if we all understand what the absence of fathers is doing to daughters, we can somehow turn the tide.
Of course, by the time you read this, I will already have another story or two in the works. To learn more about my past and future books, please visit my website at www.robinleehatcher.com and sign up for my newsletter and/or blog.
In the grip of His grace,
Robin Lee Hatcher
