I wanted to show through this story that opposites can work well together and that different (and often times, opposing) views help balance us out. I’ve experienced this in my own marriage and seen how both hubby and I have grown to appreciate each other’s personalities. We are better people because of how much we rub each other the wrong way (haha!). Even though we can drive each other crazy, we try to be kind and extend grace to one another as God has done for us. (And I remind myself to be thankful when hubby helps load the dishwasher—yes, that scene from the book may have been based on real life).
Oh, I can’t forget to mention Lucy! I hadn’t expected to include a child in this story, but she seemed to fit right in and played a big role in bringing Sam and Lucas together. I couldn’t imagine this book without her.
Thank you for spending time with Sam and Lucas! I hope you enjoyed their story. I’d love to hear what you think, so please leave your honest review.

My online writer’s squad, Clean Indie Reads, that has been a huge source of encouragement and support to me.
Christy Chu for being my logical and reliable critique partner.
Michele Chung for our late night chats and giving me insight into the characters I made up, but didn’t quite understand.
Janine Acevedo for her gracious help and encouragement in making this manuscript way more than “alright”.

Liane Reed, my lil sis, for being my ever faithful and detailed proofreader, time and time again.
My two munchkins who provide me with first hand experience of how two very different people who drive each other crazy can still be the best of friends.
My hubby for listening to me during all the moments I stressed out over this story and for being everything I’m not—because that’s exactly what I need.
