Dedication

To my mother, Carolyn Rasberry Fulghum, my strongest supporter and encourager. Her own fictional stories of adventure involving my brother and me as the main heroes carried us through many a long family trip as children and fueled the writer within me. Her life story—of courage, independence, and faith—inspired Carolina Reckoning and is a testament that God is, indeed, sufficient for every need.

To those who’ve felt abandoned and betrayed by a spouse, friend, or family member. You know who you are and so does God.
