DEDICATION
For Kevin Hall
My brother in Christ, you made a simple remark over coffee, unaware it would rattle around in my soul until a book took shape.
You accidentally sparked a search I didn’t know I needed.
Acknowledgements
My heartfelt thanks to those who helped bring The Ransom to life:
To Judy Martin, for her thoughtful editing and careful attention to detail.
And to the many beta readers who offered their insights and feedback, you’ve helped shape this book in more ways than you know.
Thank you.
