From the author:

This book was begun in January of 2006. It was supposed to be a short book so I could afford to print it (the price of printing is related to the number of pages). Then, if God chose to bless it, perhaps I could afford to print the longer book I had begun writing first.

The storyline had been developing in my imagination already, so I began to capture the characters on paper. As the characters and story unfolded, I realized they deserved more than the few pages I had planned to allow them. The characters begged for more room to tell their story, thus, the 'short book' became a full-length novel. I hope the people within my book will capture and warm your heart just as they did mine.

To God be the glory!
