A Darcy Christmas
This novel is dedicated to my children
who are a constant delight and inspiration.
My daughter, Emily ~
You have grown into a beautiful,
Christian woman whom I am proud
to say is my friend.
My prayer is for your Mr. Darcy
to joyfully enhance your life
as your father has mine.
My son, Kyle ~
You are my baby but now a man
on the cusp of entering the world
away from your parents,
yet I have no fears
because I know God holds you
in the palm of His hand.
