Many thanks to Felicity Aston for her encouragement. Her insight and enthusiasm helped sustain me through the long trek of writing this book.

Grateful thanks also to the Royal Geographical Society for the image of Kate Marsden in the author’s note.

To all at Honno, sincere gratitude for your faith in my little book, and for bravely sharing my vision for the way I wanted to tell Kate’s story.

Thanks, not for the first time, to friends and family who have supported me in my determination to write God’s Children and see it go out into the world. You know who you are!

And heartfelt thanks to the spirit of Kate Marsden for staying the course with me, and for whom I will always have the utmost admiration.
