When Angels Play Poker

by Maura O'Leary

  To all the incredible places I was given access to, which were such an inspiration for my writing: Walden Pond; Cape Elizabeth Island, Maine; Kennebunkport, Maine; Manomet Beach, Plymouth; The Beach House, Plymouth; Preston Beach, Marblehead; and Lincoln, MA.

  A huge thank-you to Guideposts publishing for embracing my story and wanting to publish it.

  And finally—and most importantly—to all my angels, spirit guides, Jimmy, and most importantly to God for giving me this gift to write what I hear.

  Please note: If I missed anyone above, I didn’t intend to. I am grateful for all your support.
