A few weeks after this book releases will be two years from the day he went to be with the Lord. I watched him go to heaven singing praises to God. I hope this book honors him and the love and encouragement he gave me. More than anything, I know he’d be so proud of me for finally finishing my sequel.
I have no doubt Sam is up in heaven right now rejoicing with the angels.
Acknowledgments
Even a labor of love like this book had a lot of helpers along the way.
I’d like to thank my editor Rachelle Rae Cobb who came into this series after it started, but has loved it like no other. Your help and encouragement not only made this book shine, but your kind words showed me I’m not a terrible writer!
Thanks to my beta readers, Tena Redenbaugh, Erin Jacobson, Lori LeMunyon, and Carole Hayes. Your early encouragement of this book meant so much to this lonely writer who is never quite sure anyone will read the next book. Shout out to my cover designer Erin Dameron-Hill. Your work is truly amazing!
Thank you to my own personal champion, Terry Sutton. You inspire me every day to keep going even when things get hard. God knew what he was doing when he brought us together, and I’m beyond grateful.
To my beloved husband, I miss you every day. I know you’re cheering my on from above. You know the rest.
To my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, thank you for taking care of me when I thought I couldn’t keep going. You’ve been with me every step of the way. For that, and so much more, I am eternally blessed.
