Thank you specifically to my cousin Odessa Toma, Susan Quinn, Tami Hart Johnson, Magan Vernon, Jolene Perry, Sharon Hattenstein, and Tracy Womack, who read and gave feedback. Thanks to Jolene Perry for her sailing wisdom and gorgeous cover design. Thanks to Allie Brennan for design support and writerly encouragement. Thanks to all my book club ladies for being so excited about cover images and pictures and quotes. And for not forgetting me 850 miles away—I love you guys!
Special thanks to Scott Montgomery and Jim Bleeke for helping me survive, mentally and logistically, after Richard’s accident. You helped me more than I can ever say.
And thanks to God for giving me this storytelling gift, blessing me with the ability, and finding the readers who allow me do it full-time. Here’s to all ten on the shelves, the first of which is Yours, opened doors, and touched so many hearts.
