So many individuals have helped bring this book to fruition, and I thank you.
My dearest thanks to the Hamilton ladies for being my first readers—Agnes, Kim, Lois and Lynn.
Thank you to Cindy Davis for editorial guidance. To Eliza Knight for critique. To the Celtic Critters, past and present, for critiques and vital encouragement. Words cannot convey how important you are to me.
Thank you to the members of Celtic Hearts Romance Writers and From the Heart Romance Writers for keeping me sane. To all the judges who’ve judged the manuscript for Just Beyond the Garden Gate in RWA® chapter contests and provided constructive feedback. Priceless.
With all my heart, I thank Frank, my husband, best friend, and personal hero.
