This book is dedicated to my writing friends who have met in my home for several years to critique each other’s work—Pamela Griffin, Candice (Candy) Speare, Beth Goddard, Lisa Harris, Jill Moore, Anne Green, Mary Ann Hayhurst, Carol Glindeman, Jeanette DeLoach, Erin Lackey, Linda Godsey, Lory and Joe May, Jamesetta Wyche, Marianne Robards, Ronnie Kendig, Susan Sleeman, Georgeanne Falstrom, Shauna Smith Duty, Dawn Morton Nelson, Rhonda Fields, and Gail Gallagher. We have been together at varying times, but you have all contributed to the author I am today. Donna Gilbert and Kaye Dacus have each visited this group, too.
I’m also dedicating it to the Wordpainters critique group—Candy Speare, Lisa Harris, and Laurie Alice Eakes—and Crit Group 9 at American Christian Fiction Writers—Pamela James, Cheryl Wyatt, Jeanie Smith Cash, Linda Rondeau, and Jenny Carlisle. We are all learning together.
As usual, I dedicate all my books to my wonderful husband, James. We’ve walked a long path together, often holding each other up in times of stress and sharing times of joy. My journey would be very lonely without you. I love you dearly.
