Glorious Rivals(103)

Large sections of this book were written while sitting across from my longtime friend, Rachel Vincent. I couldn’t ask for a better friend and sounding board. Thank you, Rachel!

Finally, I am endlessly thankful for my family—for my husband, who doesn’t bat an eye at holding down the fort when I am on tour or deadline; for my parents, who turn their house （the initial inspiration for Hawthorne House!） into a writing retreat for me whenever I need to make a big push for the finish line; and for my three boys, for endless inspiration.
