ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Without my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, my thoughts would be paralyzed—so to Him I give the highest praise!

To my agent, Mary Sue Seymour, and my editors, Becky Philpott and Natalie Hanemann, you are all so wonderful and supportive. Thank you for believing in me.

To the team at HarperCollins Christian Publishing, your dedication is truly amazing! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams.

To my husband, Dan, and my children, Lexie, Danny, and Sarah, your support and encouragement are such a blessing! I love you all so much.

To my critique partners and brainstorm buddies (you know who you are), I am so honored to have you as friends and prayer partners. My virtual sisters, your help is more valuable than words can express.
