Acknowledgements

Before I can thank anyone, I must thank the One who created everyone. Without God, I wouldn’t have had the ability to write this story and share His redemptive heart with my readers. Thank you, Lord, for constantly looking out for me and loving me.

To my sister from another mister, Meaghan Goldberg, thank you for reading this book and helping to make it what it is. Your eye for detail and desire to make a good story better has led to this moment. I love you and appreciate you so much!

To my best friend and husband, Matthew, your direction and sound judgment always keep me on the right path. God certainly knew what he was doing introducing you to my life. I love you so much!

To Ava, my daughter, and walking, talking sanctifier, you’ve taught me a lot about grace and loving unconditionally. For that I’m forever grateful. I love you, bub!

To my parents, grandmother, church family, writer friends, and my readers, I’m so thankful for your encouragement every step of the way. Paul tells us to encourage one another and build each other up, and the fact that you’ve taken the time to do this for me has had immeasurable results. I pray for each of you and thank you warmly.

And to you, whoever you are, thank you for reading this book. I pray it’s blessed you and has led a path to Jesus who loves you so dearly, He gave His life for you. May you truly know that love and never be a bird alone.
