My husband is the reason this book is in your hands. From the moment of my diagnosis and all through my treatments, Harold was there. He drove me to the hospital, sat for hours waiting for me to finish the treatments, then made sure I got home safely. He kept me fed, even when I had no appetite. He dealt with my exhaustion, my short attention span, all of it. Not everyone has such a strong partner, but I do. Bless you, my love.

  As for the previous books, Clarissa Yeo (JoY Author Design Studio) created another incredible cover. It’s always fun to work with her and I look forward to doing so in the future. Thanks, Clarissa!

  Once again, a thank you to the kind people in Portugal who have made us feel welcome here. Our home, up on a mountain, is a place of healing and happiness. And lots of energetic swallows.

  And finally, thank you for reading my books and the Light you have sent our way. It has made all the difference.

  About the Author

  Jana Oliver never planned to become an author. In fact, she told her sixth grade teacher she wanted to be an international spy, which sounded very cool at the time.

  That so didn't happen.

  After pursuing various careers (registered nurse, disc jockey, travel agent, copywriter) someone flipped a switch in her brain and stories began to pour out. There were so many stories she decided to write them down and publish them. Then someone else published them, in the U.S. and then all over the world.

  She’s still surprised by all that.

  A few years down the line Jana's an international bestselling author with twenty some books to her credit, and has won over a dozen major writing awards, including the Maggie Award of Excellence, the Daphne du Maurier, National Readers Choice and the Prism Award.

  Nowadays she can be found writing her tales in Portugal when not sharing time with her very patient husband and their cranky (ghost) Feline Overlord, Ms. Dali.
