Dedication andAcknowledgments

To my two precious kids

You bless my life in unimaginable ways.

Acknowledgments

Thank you to:

 • My patient family. Who else could put up with my long days and nights at the computer and my incessant talk about people who don’t really exist?

 • My talented critique / prayer partners: Tammy Bowers, Heidi Gaul, Patricia Lee, Christina Nelson, and Marilyn Rhoads. “As iron sharpens iron, / so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17 NIV).

 • Rachel Kent, my wonderful agent. Thanks for being my “safety bar” on this crazy publishing roller coaster ride.

 • Ramona Richards, Cat Hoort, Teri Wilhelms, Pamela Clements, and everyone at Abingdon Fiction. In this challenging time, I appreciate you taking a chance on me and on this series.

 • My musically gifted friend, Amy Nelke, for advising me on the secret inner life of a professional musician.

 • To the kind volunteers at the Cameron House for inspiring me with several biographies of Donaldina Cameron and a personalized tour of “920.”

 • My dear friend, Autumn Zimmerman. Thank you for being my cheerleader and tour guide and for enduring countless questions about San Francisco and the legal world.

 • The absolutely remarkable “San Francisco History” Facebook group. Whenever I posted a question, they had the answer. Thank you to Nick Wright, John A. Harris, Carol Tigerman, Mark Reed, and so many others!

 • The Christian writing community, especially the “Bookies” of Books & Such Literary, Oregon Christian Writers (OCW), American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), and the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference.
