This book is dedicated to my good friend, Margaret Daley, award-winning author of over 70 books. The first time I met Margaret was at a local RWA chapter meeting. I'd read a number of her books---and loved them---but had no idea she lived in the same town as me. I literally stood there awestruck, shaking and thinking, "Oh my goodness! Margaret Daley lives in Tulsa?!"
    I never could have dreamed back then that we'd become such good friends and travel across the U.S. together, promoting our books, attending writers conferences, and serving together as ACFW officers. Thanks so much, Margaret, for the encouragement you've been to me and for your patience when I vented and didn't believe in myself. We've laughed together and cried together and shared our joys and frustrations over many a meal and mile. I couldn't ask for a better friend, and I thank God for bringing you into my life.
