Thank you to my fabulous Inklings critique group, Barbara, Carolyn, Joyce, Kristie, Kyle, and Robert. Your passion for truly exceptional fiction motivates me to keep writing. Thank you to my wonderful agent, Tamela Hancock Murray. Your patience with me, your dedication to the publishing industry, and your unwavering faith inspires me to put forth my best work. Many, many thanks to my amazing family: my husband Steve and my children, Michelle, Devon, Toni, David, and Steffen, you have stuck with me and encouraged me when I felt like I couldn’t write another word. You teach me the meaning of love. I will love and cherish you all forever.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
PSALM 121:1–2
