Info

I want to thank my assistant, Colton. I’m not sure how I managed my career—or my life—before he came along. Thank you for all you do! Here’s to many more terrifying (but safe) plane rides together! Dr. Ross Vanhooser is someone who has appeared in my acknowledgments time and time again. Had he not believed in me, and encouraged me in an environment where no one else did, my life and career would be in a much different place. This time around, he also assisted me with my medical research for Red Hill. You have always offered invaluable advice, benevolent help, and endless enthusiasm. Thank you so very much. I’ll never forget your kindness. I also wish to thank Sharon Ronck. When others asked her to not wave my flag quite so high, she proudly held up two. I’m honored to have fulfilled your predictions! We need more people in this world with a heart like yours. To Leah, Miranda, Ashley, David, Angie, and Christie for the use of their names, and for allowing me to add fictional flair to their characters. To authors Colleen Hoover, Karly Lane, Lani Wendt Young, Eyvonna Rains, and Tracey Garvis Graves for reading Red Hill and validating that I wasn’t absolutely insane for going with my gut and in a completely different direction. I so appreciate your time and enthusiasm. Finally, I wish to thank my daughters for having such big, amazing personalities and letting me write about them. I learned what all-consuming, unconditional love is when you came into my life. Since 1999, my heart has lived on the outside of my body. Since 2005, that joy, fear, and suspense has been doubled. I hope if you choose to become mothers, your children might give you half the joy you’ve gifted to me. Maybe then you’ll understand why I look at you the way I do. E, thanks for working on this with me, Taterbug. You are going to blow me out of the water someday very soon. And to my little man: You are perfection. You are tied as one of the three best things I’ve ever done. It brings me so much joy that you’ll never know what life was like before our dreams came true, and I’m so thankful that, thanks to my fans, I work from home so I can spend as much time with you as I possibly can, because I wouldn’t want it any other way. So much love to my readers! You’ve made the impossible possible for my family and me. A lost, small-town girl became a #1 New York Times bestselling author. If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is!
