To my incredible family. Thank you for your constant encouragement and support. My husband, Norman, who still makes me laugh after all these years. To my son, Danny, my daughter-in-love, Shaen, and the smartest, cutest, and most amazing baby ever born: Aidan Jackson Mehl. I love you all more than tongue can tell.
Thanks to Judy Unruh, Alexanderwohl Church Historian in Goessel, Kansas, for fielding all my dumb questions with grace and understanding. Don’t know what I’d do without you!
To Doctor Andy (Dr. Andrea McCarty) for teaching me what happens when you break a rib. Glad our conversation was about a fictional situation! LOL!
To Raela Schoenherr and Sharon Asmus: Thank you for helping me through this process. You always make it better.
To the rest of the staff at Bethany House: Noelle and Debra, the wonderful design department, and all the folks at Baker, thank you. I love being a part of this incredible publishing company.
An important shout-out to all my awesome readers. Throughout the years, many of you have become dear friends. Thank you for taking me into your hearts. You encourage me, lift me up, and make me smile. And a special thank you to my “Inner Circle.” You know who you are.
As always, I want to thank the most important Person in my life. Thank you, Father. I will always believe.
