I would like to say

thank you to Halle Hess, Bethany Lewis, Hannah Hinerman, and Madeline McLaughlin for their contributions. Without their stories, this book would not be complete. I would also like to thank Bethany Storts, who illustrated the images at the start of each chapter. I am truly grateful for the kindness and love that these women show daily.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You today to ask that You be with each and every young woman who reads this book. I pray that Your love, peace, and joy surround her. Open her heart to what You have planned and guide each of her steps. In every moment of her life, I pray that she will turn to You and find her strength in You. I praise You for Your continuous love, and I give thanks for every girl who will receive this book. Thank You for all that You have done and continue to do. Through this book, Your name will be glorified.

With all my heart, I pray in Your Son’s holy name. Amen.
