In her youth, award-winning author ANN LETHBRIDGE reimagined the Regency romances she read—and now she loves writing her own. Now living in Canada, Ann visits Britain every year, where family members understand—or so they say—her need to poke around every antiquity within a hundred miles. Learn more about Ann or contact her at annlethbridge.com (http://www.annlethbridge.com). She loves hearing from readers.

This story is about three women who became friends

and supported each other through thick and thin.

I would like to dedicate this book

to great friends everywhere.

These are people who make each day

in times of need as well as times of celebration.

Friends are like treasure.

Hoard every one of them.
