To Katherine and William
My son and daughter, without whose help this book would have been completed long ago and without whom life would be vastly emptier. Every passing day, I am astonished at how your love expands the boundaries of my heart and your eyes reveal to me miraculous wonders of a world that I have never seen before.

To Megan
My wife, friend, partner, soul mate. I’m the kite, you’re the string. Neither soars without the other. We didn’t meet by accident.

Thanks to God our Creator
Her strength and His inspiration are behind these words.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To my editor, Natalia Aponte, who helped me to see this book through new eyes and guided my writing and my faith exploration to places I never before imagined. Being this well edited is an all-too-rare experience for an author.

Also to my agent, Natasha Kern, who never lost her faith in me or my writing. I have never been blessed before with such a relentless and unflagging advocate.

Many thanks to Kathleen Caldwell of Readers Books in Sonoma whose sharp eye on the final proofs caught so many things I had missed. Kathleen, I’m glad you enjoyed it so much.
