Table of Contents Acknowledgments Characters Prologue One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty Twenty-One Epilogue Glossary About the Author The English Garden Series Current Books by Lori Wick Acknowledgments It’s so fun to finish a series. It brings such a sense of accomplishment, but more than that, it’s good to look back and see the changes that have occurred in that time. I want to use this page to give special thanks to special people who were a help, some of whom probably didn’t even know it. Thank you… Abby Wick—whose covered bridge will always make me smile. It was one of the highlights of this series, but then that should be no surprise. Having you for a daughter is a highlight beyond description. Corina Joy Kenney—for how very sweet you are and for allowing me to use your name. And also for having a tough time with those hard c’s. Todd Barsness—I needed that reminder about the battle we’re in. I had been putting my feet up much too often and forgetting to fight. Thank you for leading the charge. It’s so obvious in your life. Phil Caminiti—your example has brought salvation so many times. Your words of wisdom and fellowship are very dear. I do not take them for granted. And thanks too to your Denise, whose precious friendship and listening ear have been lifelines for me again and again. Darwin Parman—your teaching from 1 Timothy was fabulous. I can’t tell you how much I learned. Your hard work was so evident. You made the book come alive. Bob Wick—you always surprise me. After 25 years, I’m supposed to be able to read your mind, and ofttimes I do, but the surprises just keep coming. Your willingness to keep growing and keep learning is why we have had 25 years. I don’t leave a candle burning for you because you know I would burn down the house, but I hope you can always tell it’s burning in my heart.
