Thank you to the editors and staff at Revell and Baker Publishing Group for the work they do in editing, marketing, typesetting, proofreading . . . the list of tasks they accomplish is staggering. I love working with you all!
I also need to thank my dear husband who suffers through my deadlines as much as I do. I spend more time at my computer than with him sometimes, but we will take that hike in the hills soon . . .
And the biggest thank-you goes to my Lord. Without him, I would be less than nothing. A clanging cymbal in a world of chaos. He brings order to my thoughts and my words, for my everlasting good and his own glory.
Jan Drexler brings a unique understanding of Amish traditions and beliefs to her writing. Her ancestors were among the first Amish, Mennonite, and Brethren immigrants to Pennsylvania in the 1700s, and their experiences are the inspiration for her stories. Jan lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota with her husband, where she enjoys hiking and spending time with her expanding family. She is the author of several Love Inspired historical novels, as well as Hannah’s Choice, Mattie’s Pledge (a 2017 Holt Medallion finalist), and Naomi’s Hope.
