Читать книгу Happily Even After - Marilynn Griffith - Страница 5

Every book I write seems to require more and more help. I’m thankful to have a great family, good friends and a great publishing team to help me out.

Fill, Ashlie, Michelle, Fill Jr, Ben, James, John and Isaiah:

Thank you for putting up with me while this book came together. I hope that all the harried hugs and microwave dinners leave you no worse for the wear. Each of you is an amazing story that I’m blessed to be able to read every day. Without you, none of this could happen.

Calvary Chapel Tallahassee and all the amazing moms I’ve met over the years in the nursing mothers’ room:

Thanks for your support and your friendship. You’re the best.

Jessica Alvarez, Diane Dietz, Joan Marlow Golan, Megan Lorius and all the Steeple Hill Books staff who worked on this book:

Thanks again for believing in me and allowing me to tell another story with you. I appreciate it.

Mom, Maurice, Shay, Mya and Maxwell:

Thanks for giving me plenty to laugh about while writing this book. You all are incredibly talented and giving. I miss you much.

Claudia, my wonderful mother-in-law, and Grafton, my father-in-law who treats me like a daughter:

Thank you so much for your love and support. (And for giving me your son. He’s a keeper!)

Mrs. A. Smith, Mrs. Dupont, Mrs. Sperling, Mrs. Shaner, Miss Dot, Miss Sonia, Mr. Gillmore, Mr. Hankerson, Principal Gayle, Miss Wimberley and all the other teachers and staff who have cared for my children this year:

Thank you. Your hard work has been a blessing to me and my family. Sorry I haven’t always been around. This is some of what I was doing.

Dave Talbot, Rachel Williams, Dick Foth, Sharon Hinck, Susie Aughtmon, Wendy Lawton, Cyndy Salzmann, Janet Eckles, Marci, Vicki Tiede and everyone from the Mount Hermon shuttle van:

Thanks for the great time at Mount Hermon 2007. It helped me a lot with this novel.

Mair, Barbara Joe, Jen, Staci, Amy, Angie, Jess, Heather, Gail and all my other writer friends:

Thanks for putting up with me when I disappear. I believe in you.

For all the readers who continue to support my work and my family by buying my books and telling others about them:

Thank you. You make it all worth it.

Jesus, who picks me up when I fall:

You did it again.
