I am grateful to the team of professionals who’ve helped me bring this story from my heart to the book now in your hands.
Thank you to my agent, Steve Laube, for a seamless transition and for being supportive, personally and professionally, through the writing process.
To my editors, Eileen Rothschild and Lisa Bonvissuto, and the entire SMP team, I am honored to work with such a wonderful group of people. Eileen, we’ve brought so many Christmas stories to life together, and they’ve changed my life. I’m beyond thrilled to bring my first women’s fiction with St. Martin’s Press to publication with you and Lisa. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. I’ve enjoyed the chance to dig deeper, shine brighter, and bring these characters and complex families to light in a story of forgiveness and love.
And heartfelt gratitude to my family and friends who give me strength, wisdom, and support every day.
