The Inn at Rose Harbor (38 page)

The story you are holding in your hands is due in large part to three of the finest women in publishing: Libby McGuire, Jennifer Hershey, and Shauna Summers. They have each added texture and depth to this book. I am grateful for their insights and their faith in me.

Now if this was the Academy Awards there would probably be music playing in the background, telling me to wind this up and get on with the program. So in one final breath, I want to thank my husband, Wayne, and my children for their love and support. And Wayne, you aren’t fooling me one bit when you lie down on the sofa and tell me not to disturb you because you are plotting. I know a nap when I see one.
