This book is dedicated to Bill and Connie Voigt. Both Bill and Connie have participated in mission work for many years. They have ministered to families in Honduras on six different occasions, Nicaragua on half a dozen trips, and an additional three trips to Mexico. They have also ministered to those here in our hometown. They are an inspiration and have helped me to understand what it means to be “the hands and feet of Christ” to others.
Thanks to my prereaders: Kristy and Janet. You both help me to write quality fiction, and you are such good friends. God blessed me richly with you two! I appreciate my family and friends who support me in this journey of sharing God's grace through fiction. I'm grateful for the help of my agent, Steve Laube, as well as the wonderful staff at Harvest House for publishing this story. I'd also like to thank Nelson Bynum for the use of his name. I think you'd make a great sheriff.
Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to the Amish communities in Oklahoma. This is the third and last novel in my Plain and Simple Miracles series, and I have enjoyed the time I spent with youâboth in person and on the written page.
