I also want to thank my husband for listening to my ideas and sentences, paragraphs and pages as I read them for the umpteenth time. Shannon Taylor Vannatter, thank you for all the constructive feedback, encouragement and prayers you’ve offered over the years, and Mindy Obenhaus and Renee Ryan, thank you for all the guidance you provided as I worked through this story. I want to thank Architectural Glass Arts for teaching me how to work with stained glass, answering my questions and sharing your cool restoration stories! Finally, thank You to my Savior, the author of fun, romance and creativity.
