  Thanks to my girls for putting up with their unconventional and absentminded mother. I couldn’t do this without your independence and encouragement.

  Both my maternal and paternal grandmother and grandfather, respectively, were born in the year 1919. I hope they’re smiling down on me from heaven and forgive me for whatever errors I’ve made in accounting the period.

  About the Author

  USA Today Bestselling author Tess Thompson writes small-town romances and historical romance. She started her writing career in fourth grade when she wrote a story about an orphan who opened a pizza restaurant. Oddly enough, her first novel, "Riversong" is about an adult orphan who opens a restaurant. Clearly, she's been obsessed with food and words for a long time now.

  With a degree from the University of Southern California in theatre, she’s spent her adult life studying story, word craft, and character. Since 2011, she’s published over 20 novels and a five novellas. Most days she spends at her desk chasing her daily word count or rewriting a terrible first draft.

  She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her husband, the hero of her own love story, and their Brady Bunch clan of two sons, two daughters and five cats. Yes, that's four kids and five cats.
