Acknowledgments

Many, many thanks to the fiction team at HarperCollins Christian Fiction for helping to birth another of my stories, from conception through editing and cover design through marketing and publicity and sales. I appreciate you all more than you know.

Special thanks to my editor Jocelyn. You are such a delight to work with, and I love that you caught the vision for this story and the series from the get-go.

I can’t imagine my writing career without my terrific agent of 29+ years, Natasha Kern. Natasha, you are a friend, confidante, sounding board, brainstormer, and so very much more. Thanks!

Of course, my husband, Jerry, deserves a boatload of thanks for holding down the fort when my writing keeps me tied to the chair in my office. I love you, honey.

Finally, to the Author of life, who created me to create, who gave me a passion for storytelling and put a love for His word in my heart. May my story always be for Your glory.
