Acknowledgments

To Eleanor Clark: Thank you for introducing me to your fair city of Fairfield. What a precious, quaint place—both in reality and in this story.

To Martina McBride: I’m not a country music fan, but I could listen to your amazing lyrics all day (and have). What fun to use your song titles as chapter titles in this book!

To my team at Revell: You’ve been wonderful to work with. What joy to find a group of like-minded people who have seen the value in my wacky, off-the-wall stories. We’ve had a great run and I’m truly grateful.

To Jessica English: How can I ever thank you? You’ve used your red ink pen a lot over the past eight years as we’ve walked this road together. I’m so grateful.

To Chip MacGregor: You called it, friend. I have to give you kudos for coming up with the story idea for this series. Well done.

To my Dream Team: I have you in mind with every word I write. Thank you for your kindness to me all these years.

To Jesus: You are the love of my life.
