Acknowledgement

We would like to thank Maria Warren for sharing with us the outline that is the foundation of this story. We would also like to thank her for her continuous belief and support to us, as well as the other members of The Tribe for their guidance and encouragement.

A special thanks as well to our proofreaders Patricia Acevedo and Hannah Santos, and our editors and beta-readers who prefer to remain anonymous at this time. Our thanks as well to the wonderful group The Watchers for their continuous promotional support and continuous motivation for us to continue on with our writing journey despite various hurdles along the way. We would also like to thank our families and our children for their continuous support.

Thank you too, dear readers, for your interest in our simple but special story. We hope that you have found your Christmas as warm and happy as the main characters in our story. Happy Holidays to all!
