ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am so grateful to the Thomas Nelson team for a safe place to create. When a brain is filled with imaginary characters, often it’s lacking in linear cognitive skills. Thank you to Ami McConnell, whose editing skills are unmatched. She can so easily tell me what’s missing in a way I completely understand how to fix the issues. Finding a partner like that is incredible. But to find two? Unheard of! Thank you to LB Norton, who will no doubt have to fix my grammar in this very acknowledgment. You were amazing to work with, and I do hope it happens again soon. Thank you to the whole team at Nelson, who will put this book in a package that rocks the house and see my love of the forties through to fruition. To my team: Colleen Coble, Diann Hunt, Denise Hunter, and Cheryl Hodde—thanks as always.
