WITH HEARTFELT THANKS . . .
To my amazing agent, Elizabeth Copps, who encouraged me to “write something new,” and then patiently replied to every worried email I sent with calm encouragement—an antidote that always lifted my spirits!
To my wonderful editor, Hannah Robinson, who read Promises in a weekend and said YES! And who went on to work beside me, guiding my words until the story was perfect!
To the entire Harper Paperbacks team who have worked so hard to make this book the best it can be!
To Dr. Diane D’Isidori, who took the time to share her knowledge and make Harper’s condition, symptoms, and treatment authentic.
To the men in my life—my husband, Bruce, our sons, Cole and Noah—and my daughter-in-law, Leah, who fill my life with joy and inspiration!
To my family, friends, and fans who faithfully read and share my books. I couldn’t do it without you!
And to the good Lord above, who has blessed my life so richly!
