Dear Reader,

This story starts in a tender place—Charlie’s desire for a child. The woman who longs to be a mom was heavy on my heart as I wrote this. I hope I did her story justice, as it is an unanswered ache for so many.

When I started writing this book, I had no idea how many details would go into understanding the foster care process and system. Thank you to my friend Ali who talked me through numerous (and I mean numerous) questions about foster care in Colorado. She not only gave great advice but helped me to stretch things fictionally when needed. Any mistakes are all mine.

Once again, I’m so thankful for your readership. Without you, I wouldn’t get to create stories, and for that I’m so grateful. I’d love to connect with you.
