My agent, Tamela Hancock Murray, is my number one cheerleader. Thanks for being there with the answer whenever I have a question.
Craig Harms, a fellow author and ACFW member, has been my “man on the ground” in Illinois. He lives near the city limits of the fictional community of Beldon Grove and has helped tremendously with details about that part of the country. Thank you, Craig, for being so willing to share your knowledge. Any mistakes are my fault, not yours.
My husband, Richard, has encouraged me every step of the way. Without his support I couldn’t have accomplished the task of researching and writing this novel. Thank you, my love.
Highest praise goes to my heavenly Father, who holds me by my right hand—always.
