The Lost Heiress
has become, in my mind, a symbol of determination—a lesson in how, when we’re chasing our dreams, we should never stubbornly cling to the way we think our goals need to play out . . . but we should never give up on those loves the Lord has given us. I hope you enjoyed getting to know my first heroine. Over the years her name has changed, along with her station, her home, and her family. But her spirit is still the one I envisioned when I first sat down as a preteen with a pencil, a stack of loose-leaf notebook paper, and the determination to write a book. May her story be to you just a portion of what it has been to me all these years.
