To my readers…

Please do not think that I dedicate this book to you lightly.

I don’t.

At times you’ve been my harshest critics.

More often than not, you’ve cheered the loudest.

I’ve asked you to believe in kingdoms that don’t exist.

You’ve gone with me through death and triumph.

You’ve seen how the guy always gets the girl, but never
without pain.

Thank you for enjoying my books.

Thank you for the special people you are.

I pray for you.

Never forget you hold a special place in my heart.

Books by Lori Wick

Acknowledgments

 

It’s hard to believe I’m finished with the third book in this series. I’m having a wonderful time writing about what I imagine life might have been like during this time in England’s history. I couldn’t do that unless my own world was full of people who challenge and encourage me. I need to thank…

  
 My brothers- and sisters-in-law, Jeff and Ann Wick, Darrell and Jane Kolstad, Chris and Margaret Arenas, and John and Cheryl Wick. Thank you for all of the love, support, and interest over the years. Thank you for the special friends you are. Holidays and birthdays would not be the same without you. I thank God for allowing me to be part of this family.

  
 The staff of Harvest House Publishers. Thanks for all your understanding. You’re the first to know that plans don’t always proceed without interruptions. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm. You take such good care of Bob and me. Thank you for making us part of the family.

  
 Katie Barsness. Thank you for keeping your eyes on Christ when the darkness tried to crowd in. Thank you for heading to the Word for comfort and strength, knowing it was the only place for the real thing. You have been a great example and a help to me. I love both you and Dale.

  
 Pearl Hayes. Thanks, Mom, for your listening ear when we walk. I think this book came together so quickly because you cheered and laughed in all the right places. You are a treasure, as well as a dear friend.

  
 My Bob. Is there such a thing as professional husband-of-awriter? If there is, you have certainly entered into the class. When a story falls apart, you’re ready to hear the next idea. You know when to listen and when to ask for more details. You were the first to understand that obedience is more important than writing. Thank you for choosing to obey as often as you do. Have I told you lately that I love you? I hope so. I think it every day.
