The Lost Girls

Начало книги

The Lost Girls was an emotional book to write, and required more research than I initially thought. I think Google maps has become my best friend!

First and foremost, I want to thank Mike Pettingill, a friend of mine who used to work with me in the California State Legislature. The year after I left the legislature to write full-time, Mike and his family became full-time missionaries with Missions to the World. Mike answered all my questions about what it’s like to be a missionary, the joys and the fears. I wish I could have used everything I learned. It takes a truly special person to give up everything they own to serve others.

Once again, Deborah Coonts-author, pilot, and all-around extraordinary woman-helped with the plane details. If I got anything wrong, it’s because I messed up.

I was thrilled when my cousin Jason Gifford married the amazing Dee-for more than because I like her. She’s also a nurse! Dee helped me tremendously with a pivotal scene in this book that, without her guidance, wouldn’t have been half as good. Thank you so much, Dee.
