In Memoriam

To Sheila.

I wish you were here to read your sister’s story of love and hope—your favorite kind.

Acknowledgments

Thank you to Angela Spiller, who drew from her own experiences to share the emotional and bureaucratic journey of adoption, of cobbling together strangers, needing and worthy, into a family. Thanks also to Mark Matheson at the Red Deer office of community corrections for providing insight into how community service would look like for my hero.

Thanks to my editor, Victoria Curran, who gave my life a Point of No Return, and to Astrid Theilgaard, my tried-and-true critique partner.

With this book, I’ve gained a tribe in the form of the Heartwarming Sisters, who have filled me with the conviction that our stories matter.

May I dwell long among them.

And to the Holy Spirit, who daily drags me through my character arc, abiding and chiding through my every kick and complaint.

I am blessed.
