There are so many I could name that deserve rooftop praise, but in doing so would actually create the longest manuscript printed in history! First, I must thank the Lord for opening doors and connecting me with Georgia McBride. I must spend this time thanking Georgia for believing in Sweet Potato and giving me a chance. There are no words that can express my gratitude for your belief in me. For the rest of my author career, which I pray is a long and successful one, I hope to have you as my publisher! To Amanda McCrina, my editor, all I can say is wow. The labor of love you poured over Sweet Potato Jones is amazing. You took my manuscript and polished it to a jewel I’m even more proud of today than I could have thought possible. My family and friends are beyond phenomenal, and I am truly blessed to have you in my life. The support you give me in all that I set out to do helps fuel my passions. You get me through the tough days and inspire me. I love you all, and I thank God for you. To those of you that read Sweet Potato Jones, I hope you’ll always remember to treat everyone with kindness, help a stranger, and give words of encouragement. You never know what someone else is going through. Be a light.
