Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to Donna Seals. She is one of those rare things—a friend you can call any time, day or night. She’s also a fabulous proofreader and has helped me through every manuscript. I love you, sweetie.

Thanks to my prereaders: Dorsey and Kristy. They do a fabulous job of catching my mistakes and I value their opinions. Also, I appreciate my family and their encouragement as I pursue my dream of putting stories full of grace into readers’ hands. I’m grateful for the help of my agent, Mary Sue Seymour, as well as the superb staff at Harvest House for publishing this story. Kim Moore deserves a very special thank-you for making my job so much easier than it might otherwise be.

I invite readers to visit

. They are mentioned in passing in this novel.

I enjoyed this return visit to Pebble Creek located near the real town of Cashton, Wisconsin. If you’re ever in the area, stop by, visit the local shops, and enjoy the beautiful country.

And finally…
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
(Ephesians 5:20).

Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent,
and she became his wife. He loved her deeply,
and she was a special comfort to him after the death of his mother
.
