Lord, like Mark and Claire, I need your guidance every day and in all I do, even and especially when writing a book. You provide that knowledge and understanding so available for me to lean on. Thank you.
A special way in which God provides wisdom is through others. I’m thankful to each person listed below.
Brainstorming is a big part of ferreting out the plot, and these ladies help me do just that: Angie Arndt, Marie Coutu, and Jerusha Agen.
Next, I’d be nowhere without someone I can depend on to tell me when my story goes off track and suggests ways to deepen the writing, as well as someone who boosts and encourages me. That person is my go-to, amazing writer friend Heidi Chiavaroli.
Lynne Tagawa provided the editing for this book. She was awesome at (and insistent upon) keeping me rooted in the era regarding word usage, so important in historicals.
The name Paulina gave her puppy was chosen by a couple of ladies from my Love and Faith in Fiction newsletter community. Their suggestion is much appreciated.
And, of course, my family always deserves much in the way of thanks and credit for all their support.
