For the newest member of our family, Phyllis Miller Cummins. I love you, and I’m so grateful God brought you into my father’s heart. Welcome!
The LORD directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the LORD holds them by the hand.
And we know that God causes everything to
work together for the good of those who love
God and are called according to his purpose
for them.

MY THANKS to everyone at Tyndale who helped bring Miss Pickworth and her friends to life: Kathy Olson, Ron Beers, Becky Nesbitt, and Karen Watson. Also those in sales, marketing, public relations, author relations, and all who see my books from manuscript to bookshelf. My gratitude also to Anne Goldsmith, who now works elsewhere but is certainly not forgotten. I also thank my husband, Tim Palmer, whose guiding pen is always the first to cross the pages I write. Thank you, honey. Bless you, Andrei and Geoffrey, for loving and supporting good ol’ Mom. May God richly bless you all.
And most of all, thank You, Lord, for holding me by the hand.
