To the aunts – my great aunts – Dee, Ruth, Faye, Edna, and Vatress, who are such sweet encouragements to me and enjoy celebrating the timelessness of romance with me!
To my sweet parents! Thank you for always believing in me. Dad, you’re the best book salesman on the planet! And your favorite book will be out soon!
As always – to my family! There will never be enough emoji to express how much you all mean to me. So thankful to be the wife and mother to you. No story I ever write could be greater than the one I live with you.
And lastly, to the great Healer, who binds the broken-hearted with his great compassion and fills those in despair with an inextinguishable hope. Thank you, Jesus, for the power of story to teach timeless truths, and for allowing me to have the gift to share them.
