Acknowledgements

To Beth, my first editor, a friend, daughter and partner in so many things. Your time and wisdom is never unappreciated.

Thanks to my husband Dave for being a wonderful person, a man whose patience and love only grows stronger. Or so he says!!
!


I couldn’t have written this book without the benefit of my four sisters, PattyKay, Ronnie, Sweet Grass and Ginny. Seeing the similarities and differences between creatures so biologically connected is amazing. May God bless each of you in your chosen paths.

To Nancy Turner of
“This Old Horse”
in Hastings, Minnesota, a rescue facility that works through Wishbone Ranch to raise awareness and restore horses to strength and beauty. Their work has inspired me to use rescue horses in several books, and what a delight it is to give them that shout out!

And a big nod of thanks to the “good cops” among us, those men and women on the force who don’t give in to temptation and take the badge… and their sacred honor… seriously. God bless you!

Ruthy’s Bio

Born into poverty, Ruth Logan Herne is the popular author of fourteen 4 and 4 ½ Star Love Inspired contemporary novels, two highly successful independent novels and a 4-Star historical Christmas novella for Summerside Press (October, 2013)

Ruthy brings the poignancy of tough roots to evocative and poignant fruition in her work. Using the depth of romance and God’s love, she winds memorable characters through a natural arc of what if’s and could-be’s until their ever-after destiny delights the reader. She is a founding member of
Seekerville
, a busy and fun writer/reader blog that attracts 30,000 page loads/month. She is active on Facebook and Twitter, loves God, her family, her country and dogs
. Married to a very patient man, she is the mother of
six
no! Seven children (she stole one from her sister, shh… don’t tell!!!) and loves her grandchildren to pieces! She lives on a farm in upstate New York in a sweet old house where if you fix one thing, you’re liable to break two others, and she has a firm belief that snakes and mice should always live outside.

She makes NO EXCEPTIONS to that rule.

A confessed kitchen-queen, Ruthy is co-owner of
“The Yankee-Belle Café”,
a popular online cooking site she shares with other inspirational authors who love to cook
! Enjoying their friendship and camaraderie to the max, the authors give the café a “grass roots” feel that connects with readers.
