Acknowledgments

Special thanks to my fantastic agent Nicole Resciniti. I’ve always had big dreams, but since we teamed up, my dreams are even bigger.

Thank you to Julie Gwinn and Julie Carobini for their thoughtful comments on this novel.

Gratitude to all my dear friends in Mount Vernon, Ohio. A special thank-you to Brenda and Paul Nixon, John Shelter, Mosie Shetler, and Josh Swartzentruber for sharing their Amish experiences with me.

Love to my family, especially my mother, Rev. Pamela Flower, the best mom a girl could have.

Finally, to my heavenly Father, thank You.
